Upcoming Construction Activities



I-15

The week of June 9, night paving is scheduled to begin along the newly widened portion on the east side of I-15 between 1500 South and 500 South in Bountiful. This will be a moving operation. Paving crews will continue south to the southern project limits in June.
Paving will then shift to the west side and begin at I-215 moving north in late June and July.
500 South
June 9, pile driving is expected to begin on 500 South during the day. Pile driving is anticipated to take approximately two weeks at this location.
Pedestrians are asked to follow the pedestrian detour routes for their safety.


1500 South



As early as June 18, pile driving is expected to begin on 1500 South.
Expect intermittent, short-term (up to 10 minute) road closures and flagging to allow crane movements over the roadway. Please obey flagger instructions.
Area residents and businesses can expect intermittent lane shifts on 1500 South during daylight hours.

Construction schedules and dates are subject to change


Ongoing Activities
Crews continue clearing, removing asphalt, excavating, hauling and placing new material, grading and compacting in the shoulders between I-215 and Pages Lane during the day and at night on both sides of I-15. 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.
Bridge work continues under 2600 South.
Travel lanes are narrowed to 11'.

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 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. 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. 500 South will be closed at the UPRR tracks May 18-23. See below for more info.

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
