Idaho Falls River Walk electrical project begins this week

Idaho Falls Power (IFP) will begin an electrical and lighting project along the west side of the River Walk later this week.

This project, which will extend from the Broadway Bridge north to the restrooms on River Parkway, will include the installation of underground lighting circuits, new LED street light heads, new poles and the removal of several old poles.

IFP officials said crews will try to limit disruption to everyday River Walk activity; however, there will be some minor inconveniences to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.

Officials advise you be cautious when walking or biking through the project zone.

The project is expected to last four to six weeks.
