Project Email Update 8/28/14

The construction activities below are applicable until the next email update.

Upcoming Construction Activities
There will be no impacts to traffic from 3:00 p.m. Friday, September 29 until 5:00 a.m. Tuesday, September 2 in observance of Labor Day.

I-15
Expect multiple lane closures on I-15 at night in both directions through 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.
Noise wall re-installation is ongoing in multiple locations throughout the project. Area residents can expect increased activities at night.
500 South

Expect single lane closures, flagging, and intermittent short-term delays on 500 South at night tonight, Thursday, August 28, and again between approximately Sept. 2 and Sept. 10 while crews continue bridge construction activities overhead.
Waterline work on 500 South will resume at night in late September, once Bountiful City has completed tie-in work on the east side. This will reduce the need for service interruptions when putting the new line into service.
1500 South

1500 South is scheduled to be closed to traffic at night, Monday Sept. 8 and Sept 15 while crews set girders overhead. Use 2600 South or 500 South as alternate routes. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area.
Expect single lane closures, flagging, and intermittent short-term delays on 1500 South at night between Sept. 10 and Sept. 20 while crews continue bridge construction activities overhead.
Crews continue bridge construction activities on the I-15 bridge over 1500 South through early September. 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.
2600 South

The night of September 6, crews will shift traffic to the south on 2600 South under the bridge to provide pedestrian access. Please follow posted pedestrian detour routes.

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 bridge construction activities on 500 South and 1500 South, and 2600 South near I-15.
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.

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.
