Project Activities:
- Due to delays with private utility relocations at both intersections, the work has been slow. We apologize for the inconvenience as crews wait for these private utilities to be moved.
- Crews continue pouring new curb, gutter, and driveways at the Pleasant Grove Boulevard intersection. Single lane closures will be used on the outside lane during this work.
- Beginning as early as Monday, November 18, crews will begin paving asphalt to tie into driveways and placing sidewalk at the 500 West intersection before the weather gets too cold.
- Electrical crews continue work at the Pleasant Grove Boulevard intersection installing new signal boxes for the new signals.
- Motorists can expect shoulder and lane closures during work from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Night work will resume next week.
Project Overview
