Roundabouts have become common in Canyon County during the past decade. Even though the public is now generally accustomed to them, some questions and concerns continue to persist; most of these are addressed in the videos and brochures discussed below.
Nampa Highway District is planning and designing several new roundabouts. Click on a Project location below for details about a specific roundabout project.
Educational Videos: Several educational videos are available regarding roundabouts. Two of them can be seen by clicking on the following links.

- Modern Roundabouts - A Safer Choice (Federal Highway Administration)

Description of Project Types
Seal coat is a film of oil sprayed on the road surface, with a layer of crushed gravel spread on top, and a thin “fog coat” of oil sprayed over the gravel. In some rare situations, it consists of just the “fog coat,” with no gravel. Any cracks in the pavement will receive a separate crack sealing treatment before the seal coat is applied.
While seal coats can be a nuisance, they significantly extend pavement life at relatively low cost by sealing out moisture and the sun’s ultraviolet rays. They also protect pavement from wear and provide necessary traction for vehicle handling.
Nampa Highway District seal coats on a seven-year cycle for main roads, and a ten-year cycle for subdivisions. Each year, the seal coats are programmed as funding allows, with roads of higher functional classification (such as Express Ways and Arterials) receiving higher priority.
An overlay is a layer of asphalt pavement, typically about 2” thick, which is placed over an existing road surface. Overlays are typically used when the existing road surface is excessively cracked, rutted, or otherwise distressed, but the underlying gravel base is still in good condition. Overlays are programmed based on several factors, such as pavement condition, functional classification, traffic volumes, and available funding.
Rebuild is the process of grinding the existing asphalt pavement and mixing it with the underlying gravel base, sometimes adding additional gravel, then paving a new asphalt pavement over the top. It is also sometimes called a full-depth rehabilitation. It is done when the existing road surface is excessively cracked, rutted, or otherwise distressed, and the underlying gravel base is also failing. Rebuilds are programmed based on several factors, such as road condition, functional classification, traffic volumes, and available funding.
As the name implies, new construction is the building of new roadway or changing the alignment of an existing roadway. New constructions are programmed based on an assessment of the benefit to the overall transportation network as well as available funding.
Roadway Projects
Description: The road will be pulverized, re-shaped and compacted, then resurfaced with new asphalt pavement.
Restrictions: Locust Lane will be closed to all but local traffic needing to reach properties along the project site. Project site will extend from McDermott Road to Nampa City limits. For the first and second stages of construction, east-west traffic will initially be detoured along Greenhurst Road and north-south traffic along McDermott Road or Happy Valley Road. For the third stage of construction, east-west traffic will be detoured along Lake Hazel Road and Greenhurst Road and north-west traffic along McDermott Road or Happy Valley Road.
Tentative Rebuild Schedule: December 2024 – June 2025
Tentative Paving Schedule: Summer 2025
Description: The road will be pulverized, re-shaped and compacted, then resurfaced with new asphalt pavement.
Restrictions: [To be determined as project develops]

Tentative Paving Schedule: Fall 2025
Description: This project replaces a portion of McCarthy Lateral crossing in West shoulder at intersection of Hensen Dr. and Woosley Dr.
Restrictions: No full closure. Only shoulder closure and potentially single lane closure.
Tentative Schedule: October to November 2024
Description: This project replaces six culverts on Bowmont Rd. from Happy Valley Rd to Robinson Rd.
Restrictions: Two phase project with closure for half of Bowmont Rd. for each phase. Crossing hard closures will be needed at each phase. East-West traffic will be detoured around to Bennett Rd.
Tentative Schedule: Winter 2024
Description: This project replaces multiple culverts on S. Happy Valley Rd. from Bowmont Rd. south to end.
Restrictions: S. Happy Valley Rd. will be closed to through traffic with access for locals maintained as needed.
Tentative Schedule: Winter 2024
Description: This project replaces multiple culverts as required for construction of Robinson Rd. and Locust Ln. Roundabout.
Restrictions: Two phase closure project. First phase will close Locust Ln. from Happy Valley to Robinson Rd.. Second phase will close all 4 legs at Robinson Rd. and Locust Ln.. Crossing hard closures will be needed at each phase. For second phase closure, East-West Traffic will be detoured to Greenhurst Rd. and North-South Traffic will be detoured along McDermott Rd. and Happy Valley Rd.
Tentative Schedule: Winter 2024 to Spring 2025
