I-15 partially reopens after tanker truck crashes into bridge">

BLACKFOOT, Idaho (KIFI) — Interstate 15 has partially reopened to single lane traffic underneath the Riverton Road Bridge, between Exit 89 and Exit 93. Road crews are continuing to assess the bridge’s damage.

The crash that happened late Thursday damaged the bridge, causing immediate closure of the interstate.

The Idaho Transportation Department’s contractor, Cannon Builders, put up structures made of wood and concrete under the bridge so people can drive under it safely.

ITD says traffic flow is better now, which is a relief to many drivers after the crash caused a lot of heavy traffic for a while.

“From the time of the accident until we were able to reopen traffic in the two way northbound lanes was just 26 hours,” said Justin Smith, ITD Public Information Officer.

Smith says there is no official timeline yet for when the lanes will be fully open, but crews will be working hard to remove the damaged parts of the bridge and keep making repairs to make a permanent fix. ITD encourages drivers to be careful and slow down when they’re in the area.

Deleta Skating Offers New Home for Former Mall Walkers After Pine Ridge Mall Closure">

POCATELLO, Idaho (KIFI) — With the closure and demolition of the Pine Ridge Mall, many longtime “Mall Walkers” have found themselves without a familiar place to gather, exercise, and socialize. Now, a local business is stepping up to fill that void.

Deleta Skating announced it will open its doors to walkers beginning Monday, November 3, offering a new indoor space for the community to keep up their walking routines — safely and socially.

Every Monday and Wednesday morning from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., Deleta will welcome walkers to circle the skating floor for a $2 admission fee.

While walking at the mall was free, Deleta says it’s providing a comfortable, temperature-controlled environment complete with upbeat music from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s to keep spirits high.

Organizers say the goal is to continue the social and fitness traditions that Pine Ridge Mall helped create over the years — providing a space for active living and connection year-round.

Deleta Skating hopes this new program will help preserve a cherished local routine while keeping the community moving and connected.
