POCATELLO — Construction on the Center Street underpass and the Portneuf River bridge on West Benton Street is moving forward, with traffic access expected to be restored at the bridge in mid-November and at the underpass by the end of the year, according to a news release from the city of Pocatello. The Center Street Underpass Project has reached a new phase in construction. Crews have installed pile shoring that will provide temporary structural support along the northeast and northwest side of the underpass. Crews are currently working to pour concrete for the foundation footings and lower walls in these areas. This project also includes several improvements such as construction of new retaining walls, upgrading sidewalks and the installation of a pedestrian bridge along the west side of the underpass.
