Add a description


Lane Splits are coming November 11!

Beginning the morning of November 11, two I-15 traffic lanes will be shifted to the inside of the interstate and two lanes will be shifted to the outside, creating a work zone in the center . The split will be in place in both directions on I-15 between 400 North and 1500 South in Bountiful. The outside lanes will service local exits while the inside lanes will accommodate through traffic. Traffic in the inside lanes cannot access the exits and must continue on I-15 until the next exit. As part of the lane splits, the speed limit will be reduced to 55 MPH, please pay close attention to the signs to give yourself enough time to exit. More info

The nights of November 9-10, northbound I-15 will be reduced to one lane while crews restripe into the new split configuration. Lane restrictions will continue for barrier placement through November 12.
The nights of November 12-13, southbound I-15 will be reduced to one lane while crews restripe the southbound lanes into the new configuration with barrier placement continuing through November 15.
2600 South

The night of October 31 crews are scheduled to restripe 2600 South, nearby ramps, and 800 West near the interchange. Expect reduced lane widths and shifting traffic to the south side. Expect nighttime lane closures at night and be prepared for a new traffic configuration in the area.
In early November, construction activities will increase on or near 2600 South. Activities may include pavement and median removals, placement of material and paving operations. Expect shoulder closures and lane restrictions during the night. Flaggers may be present to control traffic. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area.
500 South
Monday, November 3, crews are scheduled to shift traffic to the north side of 500 South between I-15 and just east of 500 West to allow room for a work zone on the south side. Expect single lane closures at night.
Mid-November, utility crews are anticipated to begin relocation work on the south side of 500 South.


Construction schedules and dates are subject to change
Ongoing Activities
Expect multiple lane closures on I-15 at night in both directions. 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 for activities including asphalt removal and replacement, concrete pavement rehabilitation, restriping and bridge reconstruction at multiple locations throughout the project corridor. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise and activity.
Crews will continue work on the waterline on 1500 South between 600 West and 675 West. Expect shoulder closures and lane restrictions during the day and night through mid-November. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area.
Crews will continue work on the waterline on 500 South between 800 West and 400 West. Expect shoulder closures and lane restrictions at night through early-November. Area residents can expect an increase in nighttime noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area.

Steel bridge support installation (pile driving) continues at 2600 South through October. This activity is expected to take place during daylight hours. Surrounding residents and businesses can expect an increase in noise and vibration.
Crews continue bridge construction activities on 500 South and 1500 South, and 2600 South near I-15.

Noise wall panel installation continues through mid-November between 400 North and U.S. 89. Area residents can expect an increase in noise and construction activities at night during this work.

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.
