City of Pocatello pushes to finish Johnny Creek road repairs by year’s end as winter looms
POCATELLO — The city of Pocatello says it is taking additional steps to ensure road repairs on the Johnny Creek Sanitary Sewer Project on the city's south side are finished before winter, citing concerns about the contractor’s progress, staffing, equipment and upkeep of the roadway. Crews have finished installing the gravity sewer main and manholes. Work has shifted to repaving the asphalt surfaces torn up during construction.
