Upcoming Impacts

1800 North

Water and sewer line installation will begin on the south side of 1800 North between 550 West and 810 West beginning Monday, July 14. 

Adjacent property owners will be notified of anticipated water interruption prior to work taking place.

Traffic along 1800 North between 300 West and 630 West will be reduced to one-way traffic, managed by flaggers, while crews haul material north-south across 1800 North through the remainder of the summer. Drivers can expect traffic to be held for 1 – 2 minutes at a time. This work will take place between 7 a .m. – 4 p.m.

Side street closures on 1800 North while crews complete utility work:

• 810 West (north side) is currently closed through July 11.
• 725 West (north side) will close July 14 - July 23.
• 550 West (north side) is currently closed through July 16. 
• 550 West (south side) is currently closed through July 10.
• 475 West (south side) is currently closed with no anticipated opening date.

Additional side street closures are possible along 1800 North between Main Street and 2000 West. When closed, follow the posted detour signs to access the neighborhood streets.

Ongoing Impacts

I-15

I-15 northbound has been reduced to 11' lane width. Wide loads should use caution driving through the area.

In the area east of I-15, crews are building up the road and installing new retaining walls for the new interchange, as well as installing new water, sewer, and storm drain lines under the future I-15. 

Crews are also installing conduit for UDOT’s fiber optic and communications system and installing the walls that will support the bridge to carry future I-15 traffic over 1800 North.

Main Street

Traffic has been shifted to the east side of Main Street between 2000 North and 1600 North while crews remove the old road and install new water lines.

Installation of new signal pole foundations and electrical meters on the west side of Main Street at 1800 North is ongoing. 

Utility and other work continues on the shoulders of Main Street. Drivers and pedestrians should use caution in work areas and be prepared for shifting traffic patterns. Watch for closures and follow detour signs.

1800 North

Installation of new traffic signal foundations continue at 250 West, 1000 West, 1500 West, and near 1800 West.

Utility work continues along the entire corridor with the dozens of utility companies with infrastructure along 1800 North.

From the driver’s eye view, this can look like repetitive work – digging up a trench, laying pipe, compacting it, and doing it all over again for the next service. The network of pipes and conduit under the road can be as congested as the cars that drive on top of it. Additionally, utilities have spacing requirements to keep clearance from other pipes in their final placement.

It is critical to complete this work before pavement replacement to prevent future impacts to the roadway.

Area residents may experience an increase in construction related noise, dust, and vibration.

Closures

Sunset City Central Park

Access to the Sunset City Central Park will have short-term access closures on 1800 North while crews install a new water line on the south side of 1800 North. When the driveway is closed, use 250 West to 1675 North to access the park.
