UDOT warns drivers of major closures and delays

Plan ahead for bridge work on SR-201 and I-15 and utility work on Bangerter Highway

The Utah Department of Transportation warns drivers to expect delays on several Salt Lake County highways starting this weekend.

• Bangerter Highway: Starting Friday, Aug. 2 at 9 p.m., Bangerter Highway will be closed in both directions between 12600 South and 13400 South for utility work. Northbound Bangerter Highway will also be closed from Redwood Road to 12600 South.
  
  East-west traffic at the intersections of 12600 South and 13400 South will remain open. UDOT recommends drivers use 12600 South and Redwood Road as alternate routes.
  
  Bangerter Highway will reopen by 5 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 5. This work is part of UDOT's decade-long effort to eliminate stoplights on Bangerter Highway by converting intersections into interchanges. In addition to 13400 South, UDOT is building interchanges at 4700 South, 9800 South and 2700 West.
  
• I-15 in Salt Lake City: Starting Saturday, Aug. 3 at 11 p.m. through Sunday at 12 p.m., northbound I-15 over 800 South will be restricted to two lanes while crews repair the driving surface of the bridge. The ramp to 600 South (exit 306) will also be closed due to the proximity of the bridge repairs/closure to the ramp.

• SR-201 at 3200 West: Starting Monday, Aug. 5, crews will begin detouring traffic off SR-201 at 3200 West in preparation to replace the bridge decks.
  
  At 9 p.m. Monday, all eastbound SR-201 traffic will be diverted to the on- and off-ramps at 3200 West. Then, the next night (Tuesday, Aug. 6) all westbound traffic will be similarly detoured at the exit. These detours will remain in place for approximately five months. All east-west travel under SR-201 at 3200 West will also be prohibited. Drivers should expect delays of up to 30 minutes during commute times.
