Nighttime detour planned for I-15/I-86 System Interchange this week
POCATELLO – Beginning Wednesday evening and continuing through Friday
morning, nighttime closures will be in place for a section of Interstate 15 and
Interstate 86 at the System Interchange to allow crews to safely place girders
for one of the new I-86 eastbound to I-15 northbound bridges.
The I-15 northbound to I-86 westbound ramp will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Wednesday and Thursday nights. Drivers looking to head west on I-86 from I-15
will be detoured to the Northgate Interchange.
Ongoing construction at the System Interchange will improve safety and
mobility while replacing bridges built in the 1960s. Work is expected to be
complete in 2025.
Motorists should exercise caution while travelling through the construction
zone. Those wishing to receive email updates about the System Interchange
project can sign up at https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/g9MMkN9.
Drivers can also check or download the 511 app
