This project is substantially complete

Roadway and ADA Improvements (2023), Part 2

This fall, the Ada County Highway District will begin work on Beacon Light Road between Highway 16 and Ballantyne Lane. This pavement maintenance project consists primarily of removing and replacing the existing asphalt pavement. Work also includes reconstructing existing adjacent curb ramps to meet modern standards and stormwater pipe replacements. Construction is anticipated to end early summer of 2023.


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.
