Traffic pattern changes coming to 17th and Holmes

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – As work continues to improve the 17th Street and South Holmes Avenue intersection, contractors anticipate changes to traffic patterns beginning Tuesday, April 30. 

Roadwork in the westbound lanes of traffic will commence Tuesday, reducing westbound traffic on 17th Street to one lane. It's anticipated these traffic impacts will last the next two weeks. 

The project will ultimately allow the addition of an eastbound right-turn lane on 17th Street to South Holmes. The turn lane will improve traffic flow at the intersection.

Access to all businesses in the area will remain open. Barring unforeseen conditions, the project will be completed in early summer.
