Yellowstone Avenue

The area of Yellowstone Avenue in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area where the upcoming concrete replacement construction project will take place.

POCATELLO — The Idaho Transportation Department began work Monday to replace damaged concrete on Yellowstone Avenue.

Crews started work Monday on Yellowstone Avenue between Highway Avenue and West Burnside Avenue, according to a news release from ITD. There will also be concrete work on Yellowstone Avenue from Hurley Drive to south of Flandro Drive later this summer.

During this project, drivers can expect single-lane closures on Yellowstone Avenue. There will be flaggers to direct traffic when necessary. Access to driveways and side streets will be restricted while workers are paving. Bus stops will be temporarily relocated.

Work hours will vary, so there will be both daytime and nighttime work. Work will be noisy, and the road will be lit during the night hours.

The city of Chubbuck will replace a water main on the west side of Yellowstone Avenue between Circle Inn Street and Mingo Lane during the project. This work will take place during the day.

More information about the water main project can be found by contacting Chubbuck Public Works at 208-237-2430.

Yellowstone Avenue provides access to multiple businesses in the area. Several areas have become deteriorated because of use. The new concrete is expected to last for 20 years.

Construction is expected to be completed in 2027. Updates on the project can be found by contacting 208-239-3360.
