Upcoming Construction Activities



In observance of Independence Day, no work affecting travel lanes is scheduled to occur from July 3-7. Traffic will remain in the current configuration with lanes narrowed to 11'.



I-15

Night paving is ongoing on the west side of I-15 between I-215 and 2600 South through July.
Median reconstruction between Parrish Lane and the northern project limits will begin this week and extend through August.
The week of July 7, noise wall removal from 400 North to Pages Lane is scheduled to begin. Walls will be replaced when roadway widening is complete in the area.



1500 South



As early as June 30, pile driving is expected to begin on 1500 South.
1500 South is scheduled to be closed to traffic the nights of July 8 and July 9, from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. while crews move the crane. Please use 500 South or 2600 South as alternate routes.
Otherwise, 1500 South will remain open with one lane in each direction from 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. 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.
Pedestrians are asked to follow the pedestrian detour routes for their safety.



Construction schedules and dates are subject to change


Ongoing Activities
Night paving is ongoing on the west side of I-15 between I-215 and 2600 South through July.
Noise wall removal continues near Parrish Lane.
Crews continue roadway widening activities 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 at 500 South and 1500 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 single and double 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.



Periodic rolling traffic slowdowns will also occur at night with the assistance of the Utah Highway Patrol. These slowdowns are conducted to complete construction activities and avoid full closures of the Interstate.



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.

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.
