Pocatello, ID (January 2, 2024) – The Sundt/Cannon joint venture team recently completed a reconstruction of the I-15 Fort Hall Interchange at Exit 80 in Fort Hall, Idaho.
“We’re proud to deliver a safer, more efficient interchange that will serve Idaho’s transportation needs for decades to come,” said Sundt Vice President and Intermountain Regional Manager Jasen Bennie. “This project demonstrates our commitment to safety and excellence in infrastructure development.”
Originally constructed in 1958, this critical interchange underwent a series of improvements to enhance safety, capacity and functionality for travelers along I-15.
The new interchange design replaces the outdated structure with a modern precast bridge featuring two lanes in each direction, improving traffic flow and accommodating increased demand. The interchange ramps were reconstructed and expanded, and the addition of a six-foot shoulder creates safer crossing options for pedestrians and bicyclists. Two reinforced concrete box culverts were installed to enhance water flow management. Additional improvements include upgraded lighting, landscaping, irrigation systems, and new cattle guards, contributing to enhanced functionality and sustainability.
