    The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) will be reconstructing the State Street and Pierce Park intersection starting at the beginning of January 2025*. Work is expected to be complete in Spring 2026.

    What to Expect

    • State Street Traffic: Two lanes in each direction will remain open; Left turns within the construction zone won’t be allowed to keep things moving smoothly; State Street will have daytime closures, but only outside the busiest commute times.
    • Pierce Park Lane Restrictions: At the State Street intersection some lanes will be restricted.
    • Pedestrians and Bike Routes: Detours will be in place to keep pedestrians and bicyclists moving safely.
    • Night work and Construction Activity: Some night work is to be expected for safety. Expect general construction noise, including equipment backup alarms, dust and ground vibration.
    • Business Access: Access to businesses will stay open, and the contractor will work with property and business owners to keep entrances clear or provide alternate accesses.
