Twin Falls, Idaho (KMVT) - Work on a new Snake River Scenic Overlook, near the Perrine Bridge, will begin early next week.

Crews will build and install the 43–foot by 21–foot steel cantilever overlook by cutting out a portion of the rock wall to anchor the structure into the ground.

This will close the parking lot and much of the area near the Buzz Langdon Visitor Center through October.

Visitors will be required to stay out of the construction zone until the new overlook and landscaping are complete.

ITD will also install a new sidewalk on the west side of the existing parking lot, improve ADA access, reconfigure the parking area, build a wood–pole fence to the west of the rock wall, and add landscaping.

Work is expected to be completed in late–October; Cannon Builders Incorporated of Blackfoot is the contractor for the 213–thousand dollar project.
