Pittsburgh’s Parkway East is set to close for 25 days, commencing this week. This extended shutdown stems from the need to replace the Commercial Street Bridge, a critical piece of local infrastructure. Despite the inconvenience, the project is deemed necessary to maintain driver safety and city traffic flow.

Starting Monday, 65th North will be closed between 5th West and 5th East to replace the existing bridge over the Idaho Canal with a wider structure. Idaho Falls Public Works aims to improve local infrastructure and accommodate future traffic needs.

A significant $2.2 million bridge replacement on Jasper County Highway F-62 over the North Skunk River is set to begin on April 1st. The project, expected to run through Thanksgiving, will greatly impact travel east of Lynnville due to the lack of alternative routes.
