S Boulevard to close Sunday

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - One block of S Boulevard will be closed again Sunday night beginning at 7 p.m. Motorists should plan alternate routes.

Knife River will start prepping the road for asphalt at 7 p.m. on Sunday, April 30, which requires S Boulevard to be closed again temporarily from 17th Street north to 16th Street.

Construction crews will pave the roadway early Monday morning, May 1, and plan to have the road reopened by the Monday morning commute, barring unforeseen issues.

The same stretch of roadway was closed the evening of April 24 to remove the traffic signal and reenergize the new signal.

Work on this intersection began in January to include upgrades to the bridge, bridge railing, curb, gutter, and the traffic signal with a goal of improving traffic flow and pedestrian access.

Please reduce speeds, obey posted traffic control signage, and watch for construction crews throughout the work zone.
