I-15 South Davis Improvements
Project Email Update 2/12/15
*The construction activities below are applicable until the next email update.




I-15
The nights of February 13-15, I-15 will be reduced to one lane between 1500 South and 400 North while crews remove the northern lane splits at 500 South and 1500 South. The splits near 2600 South will remain in place through April. Please continue to stay alert while travelling through the work zone.
Weeknights through February, 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.
500 South
The week of February 16, traffic will be shifted to the south side of 500 South, pending completion of utility relocation. Expect single lane closures at night and be prepared for a new traffic configuration.
As early as February 20, 500 South will be closed to east/west traffic at I-15 while crews demolish the bridge. The on- and off-ramps at the I-15 interchange will remain open, but there will be no east/west access on 500 South during this activity. Use 2600 South as an alternative.
2600 South

The clearance height of the I-15 bridge over 2600 South has been temporarily reduced to 13' 6" through Spring 2015. High loads should use I-215 to Redwood Road as an alternative route.
As early as February 18, for two nights, 2600 South is scheduled to be closed to east/west traffic at I-15 while crews demolish the bridge. The on- and off-ramps at the I-15 interchange will remain open, but there will be no east/west access on 2600 South during this activity. Use 500 South as an alternative.
Expect increased construction activities on 2600 South/1100 North. Consider alternate routes including I-215, Redwood Road and U.S. 89.
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.
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' 6" 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.
