Published at | Updated at
The following is a news release from the Idaho Transportation Department.
POCATELLO – Beginning Tuesday at 7 a.m. the Pocatello Creek Road on-ramp to northbound Interstate 15 will be closed to allow crews to pave the new on-ramp. The closure is expected to last until approximately 5 p.m. Friday. Detours will be in place to guide traffic to the Northgate Interchange or to the Clark Street Exit.
Originally built in the 1960s, the Interstate 86 and I-15 System Interchange is undergoing $112 million of redesign work to improve safety and replace aging infrastructure. The project is scheduled to be completed next summer.
Motorists should carefully follow signs and posted speed limits while traveling through the construction area. With crews working day and night at the System Interchange it is especially important that drivers be alert and proceed safely through the work area.
Motorists are encouraged to use https://511.idaho.gov or the 511 app to keep track of project detours. Project details are available here on ITD’s projects website —https://itdprojects.idaho.gov/pages/i-86i-15-system-interchange.
