I-15 South Davis Improvements
Project Email Update 5/14/15
*The construction activities below are applicable until the next email update.



In observance of the Memorial Day holiday, there will be no additional lane closures or impacts to traffic Friday, May 22-Monday, May 25. Existing traffic configurations will remain in place. Due to the expected increase in holiday traffic, additional delays on I-15 are likely throughout northern Utah. Plan ahead to avoid travel delays; consider leaving early or staying late.


Parrish Lane
As early as the night of May 18, crews expect to shift traffic on Parrish Lane near the bridge over I-15 to the south side to allow for continued construction activities on the new pedestrian bridge.
400 North/500 West
In late May or early June, work is expected to begin to add dual right turn lanes on the south side of the 400 North/500 West intersection. This will improve traffic flow in the area by adding dual right turn lanes for eastbound 400 North to southbound 500 West and from northbound 500 West to eastbound 400 North. This work is being done in conjunction with the 400 North Bridge closure to reduce the duration of impact to area motorists.
500 South
The 500 South/500 West intersection is expected to be paved and completed in early June.
Crews are installing curb, gutter, medians, barrier, islands, signage and signals for the new interchange under I-15 which is expected to be complete in June.
The 500 South interchange in Bountiful will function very much like the Pioneer Crossing Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) in American Fork, except that the DDI in Bountiful will be under I-15. This short animation details the final configuration of the 500 South Interchange and provides information for drivers on how to navigate it. Visit the 500 South Page to see the new interchange design and learn more.
1500 South
The 1500 South bridge is nearing completion. Crews are completing final structure work and will be completing final activities including drainage, curb and gutter, painting, sign installation and other activities through early June.


2600 South
As early as May 26 through the end of May, crews plan to set girders and perform other work items on the final section of the I-15 Bridge over 2600 South. Expect one-way flagging and lane restrictions on 2600 South nightly. Use 500 South as an alternate route.

The new 2600 South southbound off-ramp is now open. Motorists will experience a new curve in the off-ramp, a new signalized intersection at the end of the ramp at 800 West, and a new intersection at 800 West and 2600 South. Please be aware of this change and be prepared to stop in a new location. This design moves the ramp traffic further west, allowing room for more vehicle storage and better traffic flow through the interchange. Click here to see the new southbound off-ramp configuration.

Construction schedules and dates are subject to change

Ongoing Activities
I-15
Expect nightly lane closures on I-15 through summer. Single lane closures will begin at 9:00 p.m. with two lanes closed by 11:00 p.m.
Median widening continues on I-15 between Glovers Lane and State Street through May. Expect an increase in construction activity and truck traffic during the day and at night.
Nightly through May, UHP will perform intermittent rolling slowdowns on I-15 between Farmington 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.
Travel lanes are narrowed to 11'. Trucks carrying loads wider than 11' should contact the UDOT Motor Carrier Division, 801-965-4892
Local Streets
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.
400 North
The 400 North Bridge has been removed and crews are beginning construction on the ground supports. 400 North will remain closed at I-15 until project completion this summer. The new bridge will have improved sidewalk, wider shoulders, and higher barrier. No major changes will be made to the way traffic flows in the area when the bridge is complete.

During construction, the 400 North on-and off-ramps will remain open during the day. Expect intermittent nighttime ramp closures. Alternate routes
Expect additional nighttime lane restrictions on I-15 near 400 North for bridge construction.
Night time pile driving is expected to complete tonight. This activity was extended due to wet weather. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank area residents for their patience.


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, 500 South and 400 North 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.
