IDAHO FALLS - If you're driving in Idaho Falls, you may need to find some alternative routes this weekend.
Memorial Day from Broadway to E Street will close to all cars starting six tomorrow morning.
It's closed because of Festival on the Falls and will be back open on Sunday.
Riverside will be closed to all cars on the 4th from 6 p.m. until firework show is done.
River Parkway will also be closed to cars north of the Driftwood hotel to U.S. 20.
After the fireworks on the 4th, the Lindsay Boulevard exit, Riverside Drive exit and Science Center exits from U.S. 20 will be closed.
That's to help with the flow of traffic.
If you're driving northbound, you will have to go to Lewisville Highway before you can turn back into the city.
And finally the intersection at 17th and Boulevard will be interrupted twice on Saturday.
Once for the 5-K run and again for the parade.

Parking Changes:
No parking will be allowed on U.S. 20 on the grassy areas from Science Center Drive to Saturn Ave. before, during and after the fireworks show. This ban includes the interstate exits and entrances. Cars parked in the area will be towed.

The "island" on Riverside Drive next to Vissing Circle may be designated for handicapped parking only.

The parade route will proceed west on 4th from Holmes, turn south on Boulevard and ends at Tautphaus Park. Drivers need to be careful in the area because of all the pedestrians.
