The following is a news release from the Idaho Transportation Dept.
POCATELLO – As of 7 a.m. Tuesday, 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 about 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 I-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.
Drivers 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.
