I-15 Safety Project from MP 18-22 on I-15 both North and Southbound

This project will improve safety features along I-15 in Washington County, UT by removing and replacing the wildlife fencing throughout this area. In addition, another cattleguard is being placed at the northbound off-ramp at Exit 22 in Leeds, UT (see map). The work takes place outside of the I-15 travel lanes.

The cattleguard installation began the first week of November 2024, and is expected to complete the first week of December 2024.*

All of these improvements are anticipated to be completed by mid-February 2025.*
