Idaho Transportation Department’s $16.6 million connector project in Pocatello improved travel options, mobility, safety and access connecting Bannock Highway to South 5th Avenue. The one-mile road consists of two travel lanes, bicycle lanes and a separated multi-use pathway. Through this investment ITD officials acquired additional right-of-way for future roadway widening. The city is home to companies that manufacture and sell large equipment and this road allows for its safe transport, as well as convenient access to the industries employing hundreds of highly skilled workers, an important sector of the state’s economy.
