We Need Your Feedback! As a city, we always say that Rexburg is unique in that our "sense of place" lies in the people who call it home. That is why we call Rexburg "America's Family Community." And while we feel that this community does a lot to come together on its own, we want to continue to build upon that aspect of our well-being. So what does that mean to you? What defines a community? How do you think the City can help bring residents together? Share your thoughts with us as we work to continue to build the essence of Rexburg: You, our community.

ATTENTION! EXIT 333, Rexburg's Central Exit Closure Moved Up One Week! UPDATE FROM ITD: US-20 Main Street Exit in Rexburg to fully close this Monday, 7/22/2024. "REXBURG­­—The Main Street Exit for Rexburg on U.S. Highway 20 will fully close beginning next Monday. The closure at Exit 333 will allow the Idaho Transportation Department to efficiently construct a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) like the one now operating at University Boulevard (Exit 332). The closure is expected to last through the month of August. All ramps at Exit 333, as well as Main Street between the ramps, will be closed to traffic and detoured to nearby interchanges. Through traffic on US-20 will be unaffected during construction. Detours include Thornton (Exit 328), University Boulevard (Exit 332), and North Rexburg (Exit 337). A new permanent traffic signal will be in place and operating to aid the flow of traffic at the North Rexburg Exit prior to this closure. One-lane closures are in effect at the University Boulevard Exit while construction efforts continue there. ..."

**ROAD CLOSURE: 2nd E from Main St to 1st S!** We've been notified that a single-block closure on 2nd E that had been scheduled for Monday has been pushed up to tomorrow. From our City Engineer: "The closure of 2nd E from Main St to 1st S will now start tomorrow morning. Crews will be replacing the sidewalk, curb and gutter, and sewer lines. They are anticipating paving to begin in about 4 weeks." The block will remain closed to through traffic for the duration of the project. Residents immediately affected should retain access as much as possible. With this, we offer big sighs. 😪 We know this season of construction has been an especially difficult one. Throughout construction please remember to allow yourself plenty of extra travel time, be vigilant of workers on the roads, take deep breaths, and maybe save the heavy metal music for later on in the year. 😉 ☯️Stay Safe and Stay Sane Rexburg! Thank you for bearing with us this summer.

!!HEAVY TRAFFIC ALERT!! Rexburg, we know how much you're loving the traffic delays these days, so we thought we'd let you know... This Saturday from Noon and beyond we expect HEAVY TRAFFIC CONGESTION in the area of Main Street and Pioneer/Airway Blvd. We're so excited for our airshow event on Saturday and we are expecting a large crowd! As with any event, this brings a lot of traffic! Rexburg Police Department will be diverting traffic on Main Street between 5th W to 12th W from Noon and beyond (until the airshow traffic has cleared the area). Traffic exiting Highway 20 on the central exit will be diverted away from the center of town and towards Valley Wide. If you are not planning to attend the air show and if at all possible, PLEASE AVOID THE AREA during these times to help minimize traffic and assist with the flow as much as possible. Thank you for your continued patience and thank you to everyone who has worked together for the event on Saturday! Again, we're so excited for the Air Show...we hope it's a huge success! (and we're jealous of the residents who will be able to see it from home!) ;)
