Another Rose Road detour planned tonight
A new phase in the $10.8 million Rose Road Interchange project on Interstate 15, near Blackfoot, will begin Thursday night.
Beginning at 9 p.m. through 5:30 a.m. Thursday and Friday, the Idaho Transportation Department will direct all traffic on southbound Interstate 15 to use Exit 98.
All traffic on southbound I-15 will be directed to the off-ramp at Exit 98 and then to the southbound on-ramp at Exit 98 to continue on I-15.
During the detour, crews will be demolishing the southbound side of the old Rose Road Bridge over I-15. Plans call for demolishing the northbound side in early October.
The entire interchange is expected to open later this year with additional construction activities to start again next spring.
