Overview

Project Overview

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is starting a major construction rehabilitation project on I-215 West from SR-201 to North Temple. Project Elements include:

  • Roadway reconstruction
  • Rehabilitation of 30 bridges
  • Repaving 25 miles on mainline I-215
  • Pavement reconstruction on 14 miles of ramps on I-80 and California Avenue

 

Upcoming Traffic Impacts: Ramp Closures*

*Construction schedules are subject to change.

As part of the I-215 and I-80 interchange, 11 bridges in this area need to be improved. To allow for a safe construction zone and to provide an efficient construction duration, the ramps in this area will close between April through August*. Details of each ramp closure are included below. During these closures, please allow extra time when traveling in the area or consider an alternate route.

  • The eastbound I-80 ramp to southbound I-215 is closed through late May
  • The westbound I-80 ramp to southbound I-215 is closed through late June
  • During this time, there will be no access to southbound I-215 from I-80
