POCATELLO – Motorists can expect ramp closures and lane restrictions on Interstate 15 near Shelley and Idaho Falls this week as a part of the Idaho Transportation Department’s work to improve I-15 in eastern Idaho.

The northbound Interstate 15 on- and off-ramps at exit 108 (Shelley) will be closed from noon on Tuesday, Aug. 8, to noon Wednesday, Aug. 9.

Lane restrictions will continue on I-15 under the Shattock Butte, McCarty and Payne bridges in Idaho Falls until late August. The Shattock Butte bridge is open to traffic.

I-15 is reduced to one lane in both directions in several construction zones between Utah and Montana this summer.

"ITD wants everyone to arrive at their destination safely as construction on I-15 continues," said Scott Redding, ITD staff engineer. "Please plan extra time, slow down and pay attention in the work zones."

ITD plans to invest $95 million in bridge repairs and pavement improvements on I-15 in 2017 and 2018. Construction is to be expected to continue for the next several years.
