Pancheri Overpass south of Idaho Falls to close Tuesday (June 2) and possibly Wednesday (June 3) for crack sealing
RIGBY ‑ Pancheri Overpass south of Idaho Falls will close Tuesday (June 2) and possibly Wednesday (June 3) for crack sealing, the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) announced.
Starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, crews will seal cracks in the deck with epoxy resin and spread fine sand over the surface to provide road texture. The bridge, which connects 17th Street and Pancheri Drive over Interstate 15 south of Idaho Falls, will remain closed until the job is completed and sealant is cured no later than Wednesday.
ITD crews closed the overpass for repairs on Wednesday evening (May 27), and on Thursday (May 28) patched a number of potholes in the deck.
Westbound traffic will be detoured along Utah Avenue to Broadway and Skyline. Eastbound traffic will be detoured along the route in reverse, along Skyline to Broadway and Utah Avenue. Motorists should drive carefully and obey traffic signs.
Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and dial 5‑1‑1 or visit 511.idaho.gov for information on state and federal highways.
