Motorists can expect road closure on East Idaho Street on Friday

Motorists planning on traveling along East Idaho Street in Kalispell on Friday should expect to run into road closures, city officials say.

Matson Excavation will be undertaking construction work at the intersection of East Idaho Street and Third Avenue East North, according to a press release issued by City Hall earlier this week. Work is expected to begin at 6 a.m. and could run as late as 7 p.m., depending on weather conditions.

Officials will provide a detour for motorists during the closure, though the area will remain open for local access. Sidewalks also will be closed for the duration of the work. 

Questions about the closure can be directed to Matson Excavation at 406-261-1424.

The construction is related to the ongoing Cenex Zip Trip gas station project. Work on the gas station and convenience store is expected to wrap up next year.
