I-80 | Parleys Canyon to Emory | Maintenance

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is improving drainage infrastructure on Interstate 80 (I-80) between Parleys Canyon and Emory by rehabilitating 50 miles of culverts.

Work will take place in the shoulder of I-80, and lane closures are not anticipated. Construction will take place from summer 2026 through fall 2026.

What is a Culvert?

A culvert is a tunnel-like structure that helps water flow under a road. This protects roads from potential damage, as water is directed away safely.

What is Culvert Rehabilitation?

Culvert rehabilitation involves repairing and strengthening the structures where water passes underneath the interstate. Over time, culverts can wear down or become damaged. By improving drainage, we can reduce the risk of flooding and protect the roadway for years to come
