The I-15 Lane Split is extending to 2600 South beginning the night of January 31


The nights of January 31 and February 1, northbound I-15 is scheduled to be reduced to one lane while crews extend the current Lane Split through 2600 South. Southbound I-15 will be restricted at night the following weekend (February 7 and 8) while crews extend the southbound split.


* To exit northbound I-15 at 2600 South, 500 South, or 400 North, motorists should enter the right two lanes just north of the I-215 interchange.

* For southbound exits at 500 South and 2600 South, enter the right two lanes prior to 500 South (where the current southbound split begins).

* Through traffic should utilize the left two lanes to avoid ramp traffic.


The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph in the lane split zones. Please slow down, follow posted signage and get into the right lanes early if you plan to exit at 2600 South, 500 South or 400 North. Through traffic can stay left to avoid ramp congestion.



I-15

Weeknights, January 26 through February 6, UHP will perform intermittent rolling slowdowns on southbound I-15 between 2600 South and I-215 from midnight to 3:00 a.m. while crews install overhead signs. Expect delays of 15-20 minutes and use alternate routes like Legacy Parkway, Redwood Road or U.S. 89 to avoid delays.
The nights of January 31 and February 1, northbound I-15 is scheduled to be reduced to one lane while crews extend the current Lane Split to 2600 South. Southbound I-15 will be restricted at night the following weekend (February 7 and 8) while crews extend the southbound split.
500 South
The nights of February 2 and 3, crews are scheduled to shift traffic to the south side of 500 South between 500 West and the railroad. Expect lane closures and flagging during this activity. Be prepared for a new roadway configuration and drive with caution.
Expect additional changes to the traffic configuration on 500 South, east of I -15 in mid- February.
2600 South

As part of UDOT's vision to Keep Utah Moving, the I-15 South Davis Improvements project will reconstruct the 2600 South Interchange in North Salt Lake/Bountiful. The new interchange includes a modified continuous flow intersection (CFI) and is designed to manage the high volume of east/west traffic in this area. This short animation details the coming changes at the 2600 South Interchange and provides information for drivers on how to navigate the new interchange. Visit the 2600 South Page to see the new interchange design and learn more.


Construction schedules and dates are subject to change
Ongoing Activities
Expect nightly lane closures through spring. Single lane closures will begin at 9:00 p.m. with two lanes closed by 11:00 p.m.
Crews continue construction activities on/near 500 South. Utility relocations and roadway widening are ongoing on 500 South between the railroad tracks and 500 West and near the 500 South and 500 West intersection through January.
Construction activities have increased on and near 2600 South, on both sides of I-15 between 800 West and U.S. 89. Activities include placement of material, ramp and wall construction and paving operations. Expect shoulder closures and lane restrictions. Area businesses and residents can expect an increase in noise, dust, vibration, and construction vehicles in the area.
Crews continue installing a waterline under I-15 near 400 North. Expect crews off the roadway near the interchange through February.
Travel lanes are narrowed to 11'. Trucks carrying loads wider than 11' should contact the UDOT Motor Carrier Division, 801-965-4892.
The clearance height of the I-15 bridge over 2600 South has been temporarily reduced to 13' 7" through Spring 2015. High loads should use I-215 to Redwood Road as an alternative route.
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.

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.
