The following is a news release from the city of Idaho Falls.
IDAHO FALLS — The reconstruction and widening of Grandview Drive from Skyline Drive to Saturn Avenue is scheduled to begin on August 1 and will run through November of 2016.
The speed limit will be reduced to 25 MPH, and lane closures will be implemented around the work zone throughout construction.
This federally-funded project will provide roadway improvements including the reconstruction of the roadway, widening of Grandview Drive to five lanes, a 12ft wide shared use pathway on the south side of the roadway, and a sidewalk on the north side of the roadway between Skyline Drive and Saturn Avenue.
Phased construction activities will consist of a storm drain infiltration system, soil retaining walls, street utilities and paving on the north side of the road. Traffic will then be shifted to accommodate work on the south side of the road.
During all construction activities, watch for equipment and workers, follow all traffic signs and flaggers, and reduce speeds to posted limits.
