Boise 8th Street Delayed by Concrete Issues | Boise News

Boise’s 8th Street makeover is hitting a few bumps—but don’t panic, the city’s got a plan. Originally set for a September 4 finish, delays pushed the Main-to-Idaho stretch to September 25 after subpar concrete had to be ripped out and redone. Underground utility surprises also forced minor design tweaks, but crews seized the chance to upgrade buildings to geothermal systems while digging. To make up lost time, extra crews are on deck—without costing taxpayers a dime. The next phase (Idaho to Bannock) stays on track, and the full project aims for an October 1 grand reopening, possibly with a party.
