Part of Capital Ave. in Idaho Falls to close for railroad track removal – East Idaho News

The next is a information launch from the town of Idaho Falls.

A piece of S Capital Avenue, close to Idaho Falls Energy and the Idaho Falls Public Library, will likely be closed on Tuesday, Sept. 6 beginning at 7 a.m. Barring unexpected circumstances, the roadway will reopen by the night of Wednesday, Sept. 7.

Motorists will likely be detoured as outlined within the site visitors management plan. Please cut back speeds, obey posted site visitors management signage, and look ahead to development crews all through the work zone.

The closure is critical to take away one other part of unused railroad tracks. The work is being accomplished in coordination with the East Idaho Railroad and is a component of a bigger venture to take away the unused railroad tracks from Yellowstone Avenue to only north of Broadway.

The tracks have already been faraway from Park Avenue and S Utah Avenue, in addition to from the south aspect of the Idaho Falls Public Library. The railroad crossing on Shoup Avenue will likely be eliminated later this month.

Idaho Falls Public Works is in discussions with the railroad to take away the unused tracks throughout Yellowstone Avenue close to Cliff Road. The timeframe for that section of the venture is but to be decided.
