This project is substantially complete

Construction January- Early Summer 2023*

The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) will start construction on Reutzel Drive, north of Amity Road, as early as the beginning of January 2023. Construction is anticipated to be completed early summer of 2023.*

Project Description

  • As part of the Bridge Maintenance Program, ACHD will remove and replace the existing Reutzel Drive culvert over Eight Mile Creek
  • Install bulb-outs at the intersection of Reutzel Drive and Summerset Way
  • Fill the sidewalk gaps on the north side of Reutzel Drive
  • Upgrade pedestrian ramps to current standards
  • Install a drainage basin west of Summerset Way
  • Reconstruct the roadway

*Due to high demand for contractors, labor and supplies, construction schedules may change.

Construction Impacts

  • Temporary road closures
  • Lane restrictions with flaggers
  • Pedestrian detours and sidewalk closures
  • General construction noise, dust, equipment backup alarms and ground vibration
  • Crews will work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. unless otherwise approved
  • The contractor will work with homeowners to minimize construction impacts

Commuters are reminded to obey all road closure signs and follow the signs along the detour route. Commuters should never attempt to drive, bike, or walk on closed portions of the road, regardless of whether there appears to be active construction. It is unlawful to move or manipulate construction signs and doing so can put commuters and construction workers at great risk.
