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: February 7, 2025
McAlvain Construction is making good progress on the demolition of the Boise City Canal crossing beneath Bannock Street, between 13th Street and 14th Street. Once the removal is complete, crews will prepare for the reconstruction work.
Starting at 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 9, the intersection of 13th and Bannock Streets will be closed for approximately one week while Veolia and the City of Boise perform water and sewer line work. Although these efforts are outside the scope of CCDC’s Rebuild Bannock Street project, they provide complementary improvements to the area.
Vehicle Access:
Bannock Street is closed between 13th Street and 14th Street. Starting Sunday, February 9, at 5 p.m., the City of Boise will close the intersection of 13th and Bannock Streets for approximately one week to perform sewer improvements.
Pedestrian Access:
The sidewalks on the north and south sides of Bannock Street, between 13th Street and 14th Street, are closed. Please follow the pedestrian detours.
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.
