I-15 South Davis Improvements
Project Email Update 06/11/15
*The construction activities below are applicable until the next email update.



Project Progress
To date the project has installed over 65,000 linear feet of new concrete barrier and placed over 370,000 square yards of asphalt. The I-15 South Davis project will achieve a major milestone this weekend by opening the new 500 South interchange in Bountiful in its new configuration.
I-15

In late June crews will begin shifting sections of I-15 into their permanent lane configurations in various locations throughout the project. Be prepared for changing lane lines.
As early as June 24, the new permanent striping will be in place on Northbound I-15 near the I-215 interchange. The left lane will be striped as an ExpressLane but is open to all passenger vehicles. The left lane will end after the I-215 ramp, but the northbound on-ramp will have a dedicated lane entering I-15. Please plan ahead and merge right.


500 South








At 6:00 a.m. Saturday, June 13 500 South will be closed at the rail crossing west of I-15 while Union Pacific Railroad performs track work. 500 South is expected to open at 6:00a.m. Monday, June 15.







At 6:00 p.m. Saturday, June 13, the 500 South interchange under I-15 and associated ramps will be closed for the weekend, until 6:00 a.m. Monday, June 15 while crews convert it to a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI).

I-15 traffic should use 2600 South or Parrish Lane as alternate interchanges. Local traffic should use 1500 South or 2600 South as alternate routes. Legacy Parkway will be open to all vehicles during this closure.
When the interchange reopens by 6:00 a.m. Monday, June 15, it will be in its new diverging diamond pattern. Please pay close attention to signs and striping. Crews will monitor traffic flow in the area and make adjustments to signals as needed through mid-June. See below for more information on the new interchange function.
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 and graphic detail 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.

Remaining activities at 500 South following conversion to the DDI will be outside the travel lanes or occur with lane closures at night through early August.
2600 South
Curb, gutter, sidewalk, bridge work, paving and sign installation is ongoing in all areas near the 2600 South interchange in preparation to open it in its new configuration in mid/late-July.
In late June, crews will remove and replace asphalt on 2600 South between State Street and Wildcat Way at night. Expect rough pavement and drive with caution.

Construction schedules and dates are subject to change

Ongoing Activities
I-15
I-15 will be reduced to one lane nightly through July while crews complete a number of activities in preparation for project completion later this summer. Single lane closures will begin at 9:00 p.m. with I-15 reduced to one lane by midnight.
Utah Highway Patrol will conduct rolling slowdowns intermittently at night to allow for overhead sign installation within the project corridor. Expect intermittent delays up to 15 minutes.
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.
Travel lanes are narrowed to 11'. Trucks carrying loads wider than 11' should contact the UDOT Motor Carrier Division, 801-965-4892


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.

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.







Other Projects in the Area
The City of North Salt Lake is realigning Overland Drive from 900 North to 1100 North this spring. For more information contact 801-335-8730
UDOT maintenance work is ongoing on the ramps between I-15 and I-215. Expect the ramps to be restricted to one lane. Check UDOT Traffic for realtime alerts and impacts.
