IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) - Bridge repairs are underway on U.S. Highway 20 in Idaho Falls at the bridge over Riverside Drive.

Eastbound traffic will be reduced to one lane for approximately one week while crews repair the expansion joints.

The speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph.

The lane closure will remain in effect even when crews are not on-site to allow the new concrete to cure.

More extensive repairs to the bridge are needed and planned for later this summer

For updates on traffic impacts on state highways and interstates, drivers should check 511.idaho.gov before traveling.
