More closures planned as construction continues on the new South Jerome Interchange

JEROME, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The Idaho Transportation Department will begin more roadwork and construction this week on the South Jerome Interchange along Interstate 84.

Crews will close East Frontage Road North on Tuesday and begin flagging on Monday, according to the department. Motorists can access Farmore Road from Lincoln Avenue, but motorists whose destination is past Farmore Road will have to detour through Lincoln Avenue, Yakima Avenue, and South 100 East.

East Frontage Road’s closure is expected to last into late fall as crews realign the road to the new intersection at Lincoln Avenue.

Bob Barton Road will be utilized as a temporary off-ramp at the interchange until fall 2025 as crews work on the new eastbound off-ramp, according to the department. On Wednesday, crews will shift eastbound traffic exiting to the temporary off-ramp. Traffic will exit the Interstate, head south on Bob Barton Road, and stop at a three-way intersection.

The department advised motorists to plan, slow down, and pay attention. More information regarding the closure or potential detours can be found at 511.idaho.gov or by clicking here.
