Rebuild Bannock Street
13th to 16th Street
Streetscape and intersection updates to improve pedestrian and bike connectivity from the West Downtown Neighborhood into downtown Boise.
Construction Update: October 1, 2025
We’re pleased to share that the Rebuild Bannock Street project between 13th Street and 16th Street is nearing completion, with most major construction now finished.
Tomorrow, crews will activate the new traffic signals at the 15th Street and 16th Street intersections. By the end of the day, road closures along Bannock Street as well as the intersection at 16th Street and Bannock Street, will be lifted. Construction crews will remain in the area over the next few weeks to finish final punch-list items.
These upgrades improve safety, comfort, and accessibility with new traffic signals, rebuilt sidewalks, added street trees, and a repaved roadway. The project also included replacing an aging underground canal crossing to support future irrigation needs.
Looking ahead, our partners at McAlvain Construction will return in Spring 2026 to complete the final block of improvements between 12th and 13th Streets.
Background
Bannock Street is an important pedestrian and cyclist route that needs improvements to make it safe and accessible to all.
CCDC is improving the experience for those traveling into and out of Downtown Boise from west downtown neighborhoods by rebuilding the streetscape, adding fully signalized intersections at 15th and 16th Streets, and improving the existing bike network.
