Idaho 16, I-84 to South Emmett Corridor

Corridor Description

The Idaho 16, I-84 to South Emmett Corridor is extending Idaho 16 south from Idaho 44 (State Street) to connect to I-84 between Nampa and Meridian. As western Ada County and eastern Canyon County develop, the ability to move traffic north-south is a primary concern. A connection between the highways requires a new crossing over the Boise River. Access options for I-84 are limited by the existing Garrity Interchange west of McDermott Road and the Ten Mile Road Interchange to the east.

The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was approved in February 2011 and the Record of Decision (ROD) was approved by the Federal Highway Administration in April 2011. For more information about the EIS, click here.

Work on the corridor is divided into the following projects:

Current Projects
- Idaho 16, U.S. 20-26 to Idaho 44
Completed Projects
- Idaho 16, I-84 to Idaho 44 Environmental Study
