Upcoming Activities

State Street to 700 West

As early as Sunday, May 11, crews will begin overnight work to install grooves into the asphalt for the permanent lane marking. Lane lines will include reflective roadway marking tape to improve lane line visibility. This work will take place between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the following morning for two weeks (excluding weekends).

As early as Monday, May 19, crews will remove and replace the ADA pedestrian ramps on the north side of 9000 South between 550 West and 650 West. Patrons and employees to the nearby businesses should access the businesses from 700 West. The closure will last up to two weeks. 

700 West to 900 West

700 West is open for NORTHBOUND traffic only with all southbound traffic detoured at Sandy Parkway. Crews continue installing upgraded storm drains, new asphalt, additional sidewalks, curb, and gutters. Local two-way traffic will be allowed between 8400 South and 8800 South. Click here for the detour map. 700 West is anticipated to reopen by May 16 with all work completed by the end of May (weather permitting).

900 West to Redwood Road

Sunday, May 11 starting at 8:00 p.m., crews will grind the asphalt at all side streets and ADA pedestrian ramps between 900 West and Redwood Road in preparation for the final top coat of asphalt starting on Monday. This work will be overnight lasting through 6:00 a.m. 

The grinding will ensure when the final top coat of asphalt is placed, it will leave a smooth transition from the old to new asphalt and remove potential tripping hazards for pedestrians.

The final asphalt is scheduled to begin Monday, May 12.

Area residents can expect an increase in construction related noise, dust, and area lighting.

Sunday, May 11, crews will begin overnight work to install grooves into the asphalt for the permanent lane marking between 700 West and State Street. Lane lines will included reflective tape to improve lane line visibility. This work will take place between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. the following morning for two weeks (excluding weekends). 

Area residents can expect an increase in construction related noise, dust, and area lighting.

Monday, May 12, crews will start placing the top layer of asphalt between 900 West and Redwood Road at all side streets. While crews are installing the asphalt, side streets will be closed for 30-45 minutes. Please plan on alternate routes.

Side streets include:

• 1075 West/Hidden Peak Drive
• 1150 West
• Midvalley Drive
• Galilee Way
• 1240 West
• 1300 West
• 1510 West

Overnight, Monday, May 12 through Thursday, May 15, crews will shift traffic on 9000 South between 900 West and Redwood Road to the new asphalt. Lanes will shift nightly and drivers should be prepared for changing traffic patterns.

Tuesday, May 13 through Thursday, May 15, crews will place the final top coat of asphalt on 9000 South between 900 West and Redwood Road. Crews will work on the north side of 9000 south in the area currently closed working toward Redwood Road. Crews will work south across 9000 South after each pass.

While crews cross intersections, traffic will be stopped for up to 10 minutes to allow the asphalt to be compacted and cooled.

Breaks in this process are kept to a minimum as crews need to limit the amount of seams in the asphalt. This minimizes future bumps and water infiltration points by having fewer seams.

When completed, the shoulders and new third lanes will be closed while crews complete work on the sides of the road.

Overnight (8:00 p.m. through 6:00 a.m. the following morning) Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 15, crews will shift traffic on 9000 South to the center of 9000 South between 700 West and 900 West. This will allow crews to complete work on both shoulders of 9000 South. Please use caution and be prepared for changing traffic patterns.

As early as Monday, May 19, crews will remove and replace the ADA pedestrian ramps on the north side of 9000 South between 550 West and 650 West. Patrons and employees should access the businesses from 700 West. The closure will last up to two weeks. 

As early as Monday, May 19, crews will remove the remaining old asphalt near the River Oaks Golf Course Driving Range on 9000 South requiring driveway access closures. Patrons to the driving range should park at the main clubhouse (9300 South Riverside Drive) for driving range access on this day. 

Work continues near the Jordan River on a water line for Jordan Valley Water.

Crews are installing curb, gutter, and sidewalks on the north side of 9000 South near the Jordan River.

*Schedule is subject to change due to weather, equipment, or material delays.

Closures

Eastbound 9000 South left turn closed at 700 West

The left turning lane to 700 West from eastbound 9000 South will be closed. This closure is expected to last through Summer 2025. Traffic should use Sandy Parkway (450 West) as the detour route. Click here to see the recommended detour map. This closure is necessary to ensure safety as there is insufficient room to install a left-turning lane.

Patrons to the River Oaks Driving Range may only enter and leave eastbound on 9000 South. Drivers should not drive into the work zone as hazards may be present. Click here for the detour map.
