The Gateway to Eagle: A Welcoming Transformation
The intersection of Eagle Road and State Street is the gateway to downtown Eagle, serving vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians alike. As part of the current improvements, ACHD is working closely with the City of Eagle to redesign this vital area, which also includes Olde Park Place, Plaza Drive, and Aikens Street. The project’s primary goal is to safely accommodate future traffic growth while preserving Eagle’s small-town charm and making the downtown area more walkable and bikeable.
Phase 1 of the project, covering segments of Eagle Road, Plaza Drive, and the State Street and 2nd Street intersection, is slated for completion by Fall 2024. Importantly, business access remains open throughout the construction period, ensuring that local shops and eateries continue to thrive.
