Downtown Eagle Mobility Improvements: Eagle Road and State Street
The Eagle Road and State Street intersection is the gateway to the City of Eagle and an important part of the downtown core. As a gateway, it serves vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages who want to access local businesses, neighborhoods, the elementary school, and the senior center.
The Ada County Highway District (ACHD), working with the City of Eagle, is currently designing improvements to Eagle Road and State Street and the connecting roadway network which includes Olde Park Place, Plaza Drive and Aikens Street.
Goals
The goal of the street network improvements is to improve safety and mobility for all users while accommodating future traffic growth and creating a welcoming downtown environment.

While Eagle Road will not be closed, there will be lane shifts and long delays throughout this process. We advise that you take an alternative route, such as Old State, to get around the delays.
Plaza Drive will be closed for Eagle Fun Days beginning Friday evening. Part of Plaza, from Eagle to the McDonald's approach, will also be milled and paved while the road is closed. We expect work to be complete late next week.
But have no fear! Work will be paused so the fun can go on! Saturday will be all about Eagle Fun Days and construction will restart on Sunday.
In other exciting news, late next week, Plaza Drive will be reopened and the light at the intersection of Plaza and Eagle will be turned back on. In addition, State HWY 55 and HWY 44 lane restrictions will be removed on July 19th.Please note that there is still business access throughout construction. Don't forget to support your local businesses!

History
The design was the outcome of the Eagle Road and States Street Concept Design, an effort that began in 2012. After working with the community and the City of Eagle to evaluate multiple alternatives, the ACHD Commission approved the City's request to design and construct the Quadrant Alternative. This alternative best balances the need to safely accommodate the expected traffic growth, minimize impacts to adjacent properties and parking, and make downtown Eagle more walkable and bikeable, as well as being respectful of downtown's history and small town feel.
