RIGBY - Repairs will close the Pancheri Drive overpass south of Idaho Falls Tuesday (Sept. 20), the Idaho Transportation Department announced.
Starting at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, crews will patch holes in the bridge deck. The overpass is expected to reopen at 5 p.m.
Crews will close the east side of the overpass at South Pioneer Road and the west side of the overpass at South Colorado Avenue. Westbound traffic will detour along Utah Avenue to Broadway and Skyline. Eastbound traffic will travel the same route in reverse.
Connecting 17th Street and Pancheri Drive over I-15, the 49-year-old Pancheri Drive overpass is scheduled for replacement as early as next year.
