Construction Update | May 15, 2025
Coming Soon! New Traffic Pattern
Heads up, drivers! Exciting changes are on the way at the end of the month. You'll see a brand new access route to and from from Freeway Park Dr., along with improved access to Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) and other businesses at Missile Way intersection. Please stay alert and watch for these new additions to the roadway.
A video simulation will be shared in future updates to show drivers how to navigate these new routes.

Utility Work – Road Closure
2100 West (north side) along 5600 South will remain closed through early June to accommodate utility work. Drivers plan ahead and use alternate routes.
I-15 Southbound Structure
Crews successfully poured 650 cubic yards of concrete for the new I-15 bridge deck last weekend, utilizing equipment such as concrete pumps, ready-mix trucks and a Bidwell concrete paver, which is over 30 feet wide. The concrete has a compressive strength of 4,000 psi and incorporates steel rebar for enhanced durability.
Additionally, a portion of the mix includes recycled materials for enviornmental sustainability. The concrete will need a 28-day curing period to achieve full strength. This pour marks a significant milestone in the project.
Ongoing Work
5600 South Corridor
Crews will continue utility and excavation work throughout the 5600 South (SR-97) corridor and 1900 West (SR-126). Crews will temporary close some adjacent streets throughout the corridor to complete some final irrigation work. Drivers use alernate routes and expect delays.
- 2100 West* (North side) – Closed April 25 – early June
- 2050 West* – Closed through late spring/early summer

Freeway Park Dr.
Crews will shift traffic to the west side of Freeway Park Dr., mid-May, while they complete the sidewalk, walls and shoulder work along the east side of the road. Drivers can expect one-way traffic and short-term delays.

Pedestrian Safe Walking Routes
Safe Walking Routes were updated as of May 2025. This route will remain in effect until fall 2025.
Drivers: Slow down and be aware of the designated safe walking routes along 5600 South. Please stay alert, watch for students traveling in the area.
Pedestrian Safety
Prioritize pedestrian safety while navigating through our work zones. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Stay Alert – always be aware of your surroundings. Look out for construction signs, workers, and potential hazards
- Use Designated Pathways – these paths are designated to keep you safe from construction activities
- Avoid Distractions – Refrain from using your phone or wearing headphones while walking through construction areas
- Wear Visible Clothing – Wear bright or reflective clothing, this can help ensure your seen by workers and drivers
Let's work together to keep everyone safe!
I-15 at 5600 South - Bridge Beam Installation Highlights
Over the course of four nights, approximately 20 dedicated crew members installed eight bridge girders (beams) on the new I-15 structure at 5600 South earlier this month.
Each girder weighs about 118,000 pounds and spans an impressive 211 feet. Using large cranes designed for heavy lifting, skilled professionals ensured each beam was safely and accurately positioned to meet engineering standards. Ironworkers played a vital role in fabricating and installing the steel beams, contributing to the bridge's safety and durability for vehicles and pedestrians. Despite colder temperatures, the crews used advanced equipment and techiniques to navigate challenging weather conditions while maintaining safety standards.
Check out some of the highlights below from the project, including the use of cranes, hands on application, and advanced equipment to complete work under challenging conditions.
How can I utilize the pedestrian bridge across 5600 South?
Crews are hard at work on the brand-new pedestrian bridge in Roy City. We're excited for you to start using it! Check out the animation below to see how you can take advantage of this addition to the community.
The bridge over 5600 South is scheduled to be open to pedestrians in spring 2025.
End of Year – 2024, That's a Wrap!
As we closed out 2024, it's time to reflect on the progress and achievements in our project area. Take a look at some highlights below from this past year.
