MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — The eastbound ramps for the Simco Road exit on I-84 in Mountain Home will close for construction on Monday, July 8 and reopen sometime in late August. The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD), said drivers will be rerouted to the Mayfield exit, 71.
"This closure is necessary in order for crews to pave and stripe the new ramps. The Simco Road Bridge over the freeway will remain open as one lane. Drivers can expect reduced speeds when approaching the interchange. Construction began in July 2023 to replace the bridge over I-84, originally built in 1959. Work is expected to be completed this fall," a news release stated.
