6000 South – Drainage Activities 

Beginning Monday, Nov. 10, crews will begin irrigation and storm drain work and clean up the pond on the north side of 6000 South near 2050 West. There will be flagging operations during the weekday. Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and expect light delays.

 

Business access and the road will remain open to traffic, and the area will be plated each evening for safe travel.

Upcoming and Ongoing Activities

 

5600 South (SR-97) Corridor & UPRR Area

Crews are finishing up wall construction and installing fencing below the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). Between 2700 West and 2500 West, crews are performing fine grading. Fine grading is the final step of shaping and smoothing out the road surface before paving or striping. The crews will use machinery to make sure the ground is even and at the right slope so water drains properly and the pavement goes on smoothly. Roadway striping will occur next week, and lanes will be finalized for future travel.

 

5600 South (SR-97) & 1900 West 

Crews are completing drainage improvements near Common Cents and will continue progressing east toward the I-15 northbound on-ramp.

 

On the northeast corner of 1900 West, crews are removing existing materials and will rebuild the corner, complete curb installation, and pave in the next couple of weeks. Drivers should expect moderate delays during peak hours and are encouraged to plan ahead and use caution when traveling through the area.

Area Projects 

There are several adjacent transportation projects currently taking place around the 5600 South project along and near the I-15 corridor. These efforts are part of UDOT's continued commitment to improving mobility, safety, and long-term reliability in the area.

Pedestrian Safe Walking Routes

Safe walking routes were updated to include the activated HAWK (High-Intensity Activated crossWalk) light at 2100 West along 5600 South. Drivers: Slow down and be aware of the designated safe walking routes along 5600 South. Stay alert, watch for students and pedestrians 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!

Ongoing Work

5600 Corridor

Work is progressing along the 5600 South corridor as crews complete curb, gutter, and driveway tie-ins. Coordination with property owners will continue throughout this phase of construction. Occasional road closures may be necessary to while crews pour and finish concrete surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways and curbing.

 

Current Street Closures:

  • 2000 West (North Side) – Closed in late September. – through mid-November*

 

Drivers use alternate routes and expect minor delays.

I-15 Median Structure

Crews are continuing work on the I-15 southbound and northbound median that includes drilling sign foundations. Sign structure installation work is scheduled to be completed in early November.

Crews completed preparation activities to install the new bridge girders over the UPRR bridge.

I-15 Mainline (Median)

Crews are continuing work on the I-15 northbound median structure, where they have completed an asphalt pour and are forming the barrier. Drainage improvements along I-15 northbound mainline are scheduled to begin next week. Drivers should expect minimal to moderate delays during peak hours around the interchange.

Freeway Park Dr. and Riverdale Rd.

Work is progressing on the north end of Freeway Park Dr. Crews are raising utilities and manholes. Drivers can expect one-way flagging with minimal to intermediate delays during the daytime. The Riverdale Rd. exit (Exit 338B) will remain open to traffic.

I-15 NB Off-Ramp and Riverdale Rd. Access – Exit 338

Earlier this summer, the I-15 northbound off-ramp at Exit 338 (exit 338B) shifted onto the new overpass, which will provide direct access to Riverdale Rd.

 

What to Expect:

  • A new traffic pattern over the completed overpass
  • Updated overhead signage
  • New lane markings
  • Adjusted traffic flow into Riverdale
  • Drivers, be alert for changes in overhead signage, lane markings and traffic flow.

 

Improved Flow and Faster Access

This new traffic pattern is designed to improve traffic flow through the area. By shifting the off-ramp onto the new overpass, drivers will no longer need to stop at the previous ramp intersection, reducing congestion and travel delays. The direct connection to Riverdale Rd. allows for smoother, more efficient movement of vehicles–resulting in a safer and more streamlined driving experience.
