Hiline Road intersection at Pearl Street and El Rancho Boulevard reopens
The state-funded signal project is nearly finished, the city says.
The intersection of Hiline Road, Pearl Street and El Rancho Boulevard in Pocatello has reopened to traffic after final paving, the city announced Nov. 10, as its Hiline Road and Signalization Improvement Project nears completion.
Construction began in July. The project replaces the four-way stop with a traffic signal, adds turn lanes, widens parts of Hiline Road, improves storm drainage and upgrades sidewalks and pedestrian ramps, according to an Oct. 30 city update.
Construction is paid for entirely by a $2 million Strategic Initiatives Grant from the Idaho Transportation Department, with no local match, the city said. Design cost about $164,000; the city paid about $14,000 of that, and federal American Rescue Plan Act money and grants covered the rest.
Crews may still be in the area doing minor finishing work. Project details are at pocatello.gov/1002/Projects.
