Overview
The Utah Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the completion of the I-15 reconstruction project between 7200 South and 9000 South. This high-volume preservation effort, which began in February 2025, has focused on improving safety, durability, and long-term performance of this critical corridor through roadway milling, paving, and shoulder enhancements.The Utah Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the completion of the I-15 reconstruction project between 7200 South and 9000 South.

What Was Done
- Resurfacing and Shoulder Work: Crews repaired and repaved both northbound and southbound lanes, addressing surface imperfections such as ruts and cracks to improve driver comfort and reduce future maintenance needs.
- Concrete Panel Repairs: Crews replaced damaged panels and sealed joints to prevent water infiltration and extend pavement life.
- Safety Enhancements: Shoulder upgrades now offer safer pull-off zones for emergencies and better drainage to prevent water damage and edge cracking.
- Nighttime Construction: All work was conducted overnight to minimize traffic disruptions. Travel lanes were incrementally shifted or closed during active work windows.
- Ramp Detours: Temporary weekend closures of ramps were coordinated to allow crews to work on improving the driving experience for travelers getting on and off I-15.
- Final Pavement Markings: Crews completed striping and high-visibility markings to improve lane guidance and safety.
Final Milestones
- Ramp Reconstruction Milestone: By late July, all ramp construction work was finalized, including the 9000 S off-ramp and I-215 EB ramp to I-15 SB. These closures were carefully managed with detours and signage to maintain traffic flow.
- Northbound Completion: Work on the northbound lanes was completed in early August, enhancing regional connectivity and improving traffic flow.
- Southbound Finishing Work: Crack sealing and joint control seal application wrapped up last week, ensuring long-term durability.
- Holiday Adjustments: Construction paused for Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Pioneer Day observance, resuming with adjusted schedules to accommodate final tasks.
- Final Pavement Markings: The last primary task, installing high-visibility pavement markings, was scheduled for completion during the final week of the construction project. This ensures improved lane guidance and safety for drivers.
Project Overview
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is conducting a concrete repair work project on I-15 from 7200 South to 9000 South (milepost 295 to milepost 298), spanning approximately three miles from Midvale to Sandy City. This project will include concrete repair and shoulder work. This project will also enhance safety by removing ruts, cracks, and other surface imperfections, improving driver comfort, and reducing the need for frequent repairs and maintenance in the future. Additionally, the shoulder work will provide a safe area for vehicles to pull over in the event of an emergency, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. It will also ensure effective drainage, preventing water from pooling on the roadway and causing damage, and ultimately prevent edge cracking, which will extend the road's lifespan.The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is conducting a concrete repair work project on I-15 from 7200 South to 9000 South (milepost 295 to milepost 298), spanning approximately three miles from Midvale to Sandy City.
