I-15 South Davis Improvements
Project Email Update 8/14/14

I-15

Expect multiple lane closures on I-15 at night in both directions through mid-September. Single lane closures will begin at 9:00 p.m. with I-15 restricted to one lane in each direction by midnight. These lane closures will be implemented to allow space for asphalt removal and replacement, concrete pavement rehabilitation, and bridge rehabilitation at multiple locations throughout the project corridor. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise and activity
500 South

The nights of August 25 & 26, crews will set bridge girders over 500 South for new bridge construction. 500 South will be closed to east/west traffic under the bridge from 10:00 p.m. until 5:00 a.m. nightly. The I-15 interchange will remain open. Use 800 West to 400 North or 500 West to 400 North as an alternate route.
1500 South

Crews continue bridge construction activities on the I-15 bridge over 1500 South through late August. Crews are scheduled to work around the clock, including over night, to accomplish the installation of the MSE (soil stabilization) walls under the bridge. Surrounding residents can expect increased nighttime noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area. Motorists can expect continued traffic shifts on 1500 South near the bridge.
Construction schedules and dates are subject to change

Ongoing Activities

Crews continue to rehabilitate the I-15 bridges over Center Street and Main Street in North Salt Lake. Area residents may experience an increase in light, noise, and vehicle activity associated with this work.
Crews continue construction activities on 500 South near I-15 including soil stabilization efforts for the new bridge.
Water line relocation on 500 South continues through late August. Expect lane closures and additional construction activity at night.
Travel lanes are narrowed to 11'.
Per city ordinance, trucks are restricted from using Center Street and Main Street in North Salt Lake as an alternate to 2600 South/1100 North. Trucks should use I-215 as an alternate route.

Project Overview

The I-15 South Davis Improvements project will:

Add ExpressLanes in both directions from the north I-215 interchange to U.S. 89 in Farmington.
Replace aging bridges at 2600 South, 1500 South, 500 South, and 400 North.
Reconfigure the interchanges at 2600 South and 500 South in Bountiful to improve east/west mobility
Improve active transportation with better pedestrian facilities at 500 South, 400 North and Parrish Lane.
Expect single and double lane restrictions on I-15 nightly as early as 7:00 pm and as late as 7:00 am. Actual lane closure times may vary within these hours based on real time traffic numbers.

Periodic rolling traffic slowdowns will also occur at night with the assistance of the Utah Highway Patrol. These slowdowns are conducted to complete construction activities and avoid full closures of the Interstate.

Travel lanes are reduced to 11' wide. Trucks carrying loads wider than 11' should contact the UDOT Motor Carrier Division, 801-965-4892.

I-15 construction is expected to complete in spring 2015 with interchange and bridge construction continuing through summer 2015.

Information about non-UDOT projects in the area is available at the end of this email.

Plan Ahead To Reduce Delays And Impacts

I-15 will remain open without restrictions during peak hours. However, travel delays up to 30 minutes are expected during peak travel times. Use Legacy Parkway or Frontrunner to avoid delay. FrontRunner provides all-day service with 30-min. frequency during peak hours.

Safety

Stay alert and be prepared for changing lane configurations in the project area for your safety and the safety of those working here. Please obey the posted speed and be aware for changing roadway conditions throughout the project area.
