Construction Delays

Please be aware that there is a lot of construction occurring in the area and expect delays when traveling. Interstate 84 has construction on both the west and east bound lanes. Exit 208 (Overland) has construction from Kasota Road all the way to exit 208 in Burley, this is a 7 mile construction zone. Traffic is down to one lane each way due to resurfacing the freeway on the opposite side. There are lane crossovers and restrictions. Proposed construction is planned for exit 211 (Loves Truck Stop). This has not started yet, but could be started at the time of the event. Additionally, 10 miles east of Burley has construction at the new Port of Entry on the southside, eastbound lanes of I-84. To the west there is construction on the eastbound lanes from Jerome to Twin Falls due to freeway widening.
