The Idaho Transportation Department has begun crack sealing US-91 in Pocatello. Work began Monday on 5th Street and has continued onto 4th Street. Crack sealing north through Pocatello on Yellowstone Avenue will continue as weather permits.

“Once we reach Cedar Street, we will shift to nighttime work to minimize disruption to businesses,” said Pocatello Foreman Anthony Richards. “Other than where the pavement is concrete, we’re planning on continuing north all the way to Walmart.”

The sealant prevents water from entering the pavement causing further erosion and extending the lifespan of the road

Motorists should expect single lane closures in the work zone.

Drivers are encouraged to use the Idaho 511 system for traffic impact updates for this project, and all ITD projects statewide.
