9000 South Paving

To extend the life of 9000 South, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will remove and replace the asphalt and upgrade the ADA pedestrian ramps along 9000 South between Redwood Road and Bangerter Highway in the spring and summer of 2025. When that work occurs, UDOT (in coordination with West Jordan City) will add buffered bicycle lanes on both sides of 9000 South. This change will eliminate on-street parking on both sides of 9000 South.

What is a "Mill and Fill?"

UDOT often uses construction lingo to describe construction projects. This project is what is called a "Mill and Fill."
 
A mill and fill is a paving process where the top layer of asphalt pavement is removed (milled) and replaced with a new layer of asphalt (filled). This process is used to rejuvenate and repair deteriorated asphalt road surfaces. In our case, this project is removing and replacing 1 1/2" of asphalt.
 
This process is completed in this approximate order:
• Repair any concrete curb, gutter, pedestrian ADA ramps (we are only replacing ADA ramps).
• Lower utility lids to avoid damaging equipment doing the "milling." The lids are then covered with temporary asphalt so traffic can keep driving in the lane without metal plates. 
• Mill the top surface.
• Repair any soft spots. A soft spot is a section that has damage in the subsurface below the asphalt which may cause future issues.
• Place new asphalt.
• Install grooved in lane lines. Grooved in lane lines are used to keep snowplows from ripping up the reflective tape.
• Raise the utility lids.
 
These processes are quick and can add years to the road.
 
This is an example of a utility lid on 9000 South that has not been lowered. Crews will remove the concrete and place the lid into the ground prior to milling the road.

This lid has been lowered into the road surface and covered with temporary asphalt. This allows the equipment to drive and mill right over the lid, preventing damage to the equipment.
