Northgate Interchange project moves forward
The Idaho Transportation Board unanimously approved a resolution that allows the Idaho Transportation Department to move forward with an agreement to develop a public private partnership to build the Northgate (Siphon Road) Interchange in Bannock County.
The overall project will connect parts of north Pocatello and Chubbuck to Interstate 15 near Siphon Road.
Under the agreement, ITD would administer the construction of the interchange portion of project and the other partners would construct connecting road infrastructure.
The partnership consists of Millennial Development, city of Chubbuck, city of Pocatello, Bannock County, Pocatello Development Authority and ITD.
As part of the agreement, ITD and Millennial Development will share costs of building the $8.4 million interchange. The other partners will share the costs of building connecting infrastructure.
The agreement calls for the Millennial Development to pay $3.4 million up front and then ITD would contribute $5 million for the construction of the interchange.
