City provides update on Hiline Road and Signalization Improvement Project
POCATELLO — The south side of the intersection of Hiline Road, Pearl Street and El Rancho Boulevard closed Wednesday, Sept. 30, as part of the Hiline Road and Signalization Improvement Project. Detour signs will be posted to direct traffic through the construction area, according to a news release from the city of Pocatello. Drivers are encouraged to be cautious while driving through the detours and plan for more travel time. The north side of the intersection is nearly finished. It is still open to traffic while excavation and backfilling are currently underway along Pearl Street. The existing four-way stop will be replaced with a traffic signal and other improvements that are intended to enhance safety, accessibility and traffic flow. The other improvements include dedicated turn lanes, widening part of Hiline Road, new storm drainage, upgraded sidewalks and improved pedestrian ramps to enhance accessibility.
