I-15 Lane Splits rescheduled for November 13

The northbound lane split in South Davis, affecting Bountiful's 500 South and 400 North exits, has been delayed until Nov. 13. Southbound lane splits are still scheduled to begin Nov. 15, affecting the 500 South exit.



Crews have rescheduled the northbound lane splits to allow additional time for pavement grinding to improve the ride between the new bridge transitions and existing lanes. Nightly lane closures will occur as regularly scheduled, restricting traffic to one lane during the nights of Nov. 10-12.



As part of the I-15 South Davis Improvements Project, the northbound traffic split will affect Bountiful's 500 South and 400 North exits. Similarly, southbound lane splits will begin November 15, affecting the 500 South exit. Traffic will be restricted to one lane during the nights of Nov. 12-14 for restriping in preparation of this split. Motorists are advised to use alternate routes.



The lane splits will shift two lanes of traffic to the inside, and two lanes to the outside of the interstate, creating a work zone in the center. Inside lanes will serve thru-traffic, while the outside lanes will serve the local exits. These lane splits are designed to minimize traffic delays by allowing crews to replace I-15 bridges without closing this important section of interstate highway, and are expected to remain in place through the first week of February.



During this period, the speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph in the lane split zones. Drivers are encouraged to pay close attention to electronic message and exit signs and change lanes early enough to safely exit. For northbound I-15, the split will begin between the 2600 South and 500 South interchanges in Bountiful.
