Stay Informed! Sign up to receive our emailed construction updates.

Construction Update as of 07/02/2020: Construction to start on Monday, May 18th. Tree removals started on May 21st. Crews have removed asphalt on the west side of Linder Road and the south side of Deer Flat Road. Current work includes underground storm drainpipe and seepage bed installation along with ongoing utility relocations.

Traffic Info: Traffic was shifted to the north side of Deer Flat Road and the east side of Linder Road in early June. There will be one lane in each direction on both Linder Road and Deer Flat Road but there may be daytime lane restrictions with flagging. Motorists should expect some delay when traveling through the construction zone. 

Construction is anticipated to be complete in October 2020.

Utility work began in January and will continue throughout the project. When complete the intersection will feature:

• Right turn lanes.
• Single left turn lanes, with accommodations made for future dual left turn lanes on Linder Rd.
• Partially controlled access on the west leg of Deer Flat Rd. with an extruded curb, as it exists today, for safety.
• Curb, gutter, and sidewalk. Sidewalk will extend to match existing sidewalk on the east leg of Linder Rd. and the south leg of Deer Flat Rd.
• Right turn lane into Reed Elementary and Kuna High.

......

The Ada County Highway District (ACHD) is starting preliminary work on a concept design for the Linder Road and Deer Flat Road intersection area, a neighborhood that features a sports park, several schools, and a variety of businesses.

The goal of the concept is to engage the community and determine what type of intersection will efficiently and safely meet the future needs of all users - motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. We are in the very initial stages, which means that we don't have a design, nor have we chosen an alternative at this time. Please review the newsletter to learn more.

Project Description

• Develop and evaluate intersection alternatives.
• The purpose of the redesign will be to improve safety, increase capacity and improve pedestrian connectivity
• This is a Federal aid project.
