Construction Update | Sept. 19, 2024

I-15 NB Traffic Shift

Traffic on I-15 Northbound will shift east to accommodate work inside the median as early as Sunday, Sept. 22 through Monday, Sept. 23. Work will take place during nighttime hours (7 p.m. – 5 a.m.). Drivers can expect intermittent lane closures, nighttime lighting, and a new traffic configuration.

5600 South (SR-97)*

Drivers can expect lane shifts, occasional flagging operations, adjacent street closures, occasional nighttime operations, and short-term delays along the corridor.

In partnership with Roy City, crews are continuing the installation of a new waterline along 5600 South. Work is taking place during daytime hours approximately (9 a.m. – 5 p.m.). This work will be a moving operation and take place in various locations throughout the corridor.

Crews will temporarily close intermittent locations throughout the corridor. A flyer will be distributed to notify impacted neighborhood residents of culinary water shut-offs and road closures. Work is expected to continue through September.

Along Wardleigh Road to Missile Way*

Crews will complete roadway prep work along 5600 South between the Freeway Park Dr. and Missile Way intersection in mid-September. Drivers can expect a new traffic shift configuration and minimal delays. More details will be shared in future updates.

I-15 NB Structure and CD Bridge at 5600 South (SR-97)*

Crews are building retaining walls around the Collector Distributor (CD) bridge and finishing paving work along the I-15 NB structure and excavating out the median through early September. Drivers can expect nighttime operations and minimal delays.

Freeway Park Dr. and Ritter Dr.*

No access to 5600 South (SR-97) from Freeway Park Dr. while crews complete utility work through mid-September. Drivers should use alternate routes and expect minimal delays.

The intersection of Freeway Park Dr. and Ritter Dr. will remain closed through mid-September to accommodate waterline work. Drivers can detour via 1500 W/Freeway Park Dr., expect short-term delays, and occasional flagging operations. Business access is being maintained.

Bridge girders were set on the pedestrian bridge at the D&RG Trail earlier this week. Due to material delays, the pedestrian bridge is anticipated to be open in spring 2025.

NOTE: As changes with the traffic shift on 5600 South approach, we will be distributing updated Safe Walking Route information and will be working with the schools and district for messaging and outreach prior to implementation.

What to Expect:

• Noise, dust, vibration, and nighttime lighting
• Short-term culinary water shut-offs (approximately from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.)
• Occasional cross street road closures
• One-way traffic operations with flaggers
• Construction vehicles and crew members in the area
