Construction on the 2010 Overlays  began in May. Please check this page regularly for updates to construction time frames, as they are subject to change.  Around 170 locations are impacted by ACHD overlays this season, but not all of them are listed on this page.  Most locations can be found on our construction map. Please call if you have any questions, (208) 387-6100

A note about overlay work and impacts: Overlay work is typically a quick process, but includes several steps, some of which can involve, but are not limited to:

  • General construction noise
  • Ground vibration
  • Equipment safety back up alarms
  • Dust
  • Night work lighting
  • Temporary lane restrictions & delays

Many overlay locations are scheduled for night work to occur, typically between the hours of 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Performing night work allows construction to occur faster and under safer conditions for residents, motorists and crews and reduces the need for lane restrictions or closures.

 2010 Federal Thin Lift Overlays

Twenty five road sections in Ada County will receive a thin lift overlay. These overlays are funded by $4.32 million in federal stimulus money. The existing surfaces will be milled (ground) in areas with curb and gutter and at the beginning and end of the road sections. Hot asphalt mix will then be laid down. Road sections chosen for thin lift overlays generally have less deterioration than those selected for a full depth overlay; however other factors like the number of outdated pedestrian ramps in the area as well as traffic counts are considered.

Locations: Please note that construction time frames are approximate and are subject to change. Unless otherwise noted, work at these locations is allowed weekdays from 8:30 a.m.- 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends.

 2010 Federal Full Depth Overlays

The 2010 federal overlay projects are being funded by $6.55 million in federal stimulus money. The following list of 17 locations will receive “full depth” overlays, meaning some locations will first undergo the removal of the existing road surface, followed by new asphalt. Pedestrian ramps adjacent to the overlay locations will be upgraded or replaced and brought to current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards where needed.

Locations: Please note that night work hours are typically 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Some work may occur simultaneously at more than one location. Time frames are subject to change, as overlay work is weather-dependant.

Work at the following locations will occur in August through the end of September. Most of the work is scheduled to occur at night, generally during the hours of 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
