OVERVIEW

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will widen 9000 South between Redwood Road and 700 West, in West Jordan and Sandy, by adding a new eastbound and westbound lane, a buffered bicycle lane, and continuous sidewalks throughout the corridor. Additionally, 9000 South will be repaved between 700 West and State Street. The project is planned to begin late spring/summer 2023.

 

9000 South is a major east-west road that connects the growing communities in western Salt Lake Valley with I-15 and the eastern parts of the valley. This connection is leading to heavy congestion on 9000 South, and this congestion will continue to worsen. In addition, the exiting 9000 South roadway has insufficient shoulders and sidewalks and lacks bicycle facilities. 

 

The project is intended to improve local east-west traffic performance by reducing intersection congestion and average vehicle delay while improving travel mode choices and safety on 9000 South. These improvements seek to decrease the crash rates along the corridor and improve travel mode choices and enhance safety for active transportation users – including adding buffered bicycle lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.

 

During the project, crews will strive to minimize the impacts to utility services and impacts to existing homes and businesses. Our Public Involvement team is actively communicating with area businesses and residents on construction schedules, potential impacts, and other inquiries. 

 

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

The contractor will utilize efforts to minimize impacts to neighboring residences, business, and the motoring public; however, it is likely the following impacts can be expected near/in the work zone:

  • Noise from construction activities, to include some overnight activity
  • Increase in vibration
  • Increase in dust - dust mitigation efforts will be utilized
  • Traffic delays due to lane restrictions and signal work

 

Work zones can be unpredictable. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speed and watch for changing traffic patterns, lane restrictions, and workers in the roadway.
