After Months of Construction, Access to Idaho Shoshone Falls Back Open

In a welcome surprise, and one that doesn’t happen often in Idaho, a construction project has finished early in Southern Idaho.

The Shoshone Grade has been in dire need of fixing for many years, and last Fall, the road was closed and the repairs began.

About 3 weeks ago, the City of Twin Falls announced that the construction progress was on track and announced that work would be done and access reopened towards the end of May. But today, they announced that the work was done and access to the Shoshone Falls is back open.
