West Broadway Sidewalk Improvement project starting Thursday morning

Starting on the morning of May 9, 2019, you can expect to see more crews on West Broadway.

The West Broadway Sidewalk Improvement project goes from Memorial Drive to North Yellowstone Ave.

The project is anticipated to last 45 days.

The project includes the replacement of curb, gutter, and sidewalks.

The existing planter boxes will be replaced with new above-ground flower planters.

The older, root bound trees will be removed and replaced with healthier trees.

The project also calls for decorative pavers and new lighting.

All roads lanes will remain open for most of the project.

One lane of traffic in one direction on W Broadway may be closed during non-peak traffic times to facilitate construction.

Park Avenue from “A” Street south of the railroad may also be closed during non-peak traffic times.

Pedestrian access may be restricted to accommodate sidewalk reconstruction.

Only one side, of W Broadway, will be restricted at any given time.

For any questions on the project, you can contact the City of Idaho Falls Public Works Department at (208) 612-8450.
