Work on the 5600 South interchange project in Roy to be suspended for Hill Air Force Base “Warriors Over the Wasatch” air show

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises drivers to plan ahead for overnight lane restrictions and potentials delays in Parleys Canyon and on I-15 in Salt Lake County this weekend:

Parleys Canyon paving: Near the mouth of Parleys Canyon, I-80 will be down to one lane in each direction every night through Sunday, June 30, while crews finish paving work and install new lane striping and rumble strips. Crews will also intermittently close ramps on I-215 and I-80 for 1-2 hours at a time to accomplish this work. Lanes and ramps will all re-open each morning in time for the commute.

I-15 bridge work in Murray: Northbound I-15 will be down to one lane near 6400 South in Murray every night starting as early as 8 p.m. this weekend. Crews are working on improving several I-15 bridges this summer to provide a more comfortable ride for drivers. Crews will be working on I-15 in the Salt Lake Valley through November to extend the life of the bridges. Expect nighttime delays and lane restrictions.

Salt Lake County lane striping: Drivers should also plan ahead as the northbound I-15 collector-distributor ramps near 9000 South in Sandy will close Saturday night as early as 11 p.m. while crews place new line striping. During this time, northbound I-15 drivers will not be able to access I-215. UDOT recommends taking alternate routes. The ramps will be open in time for the morning commute.

On Monday, July 1, the striping crew will then close the westbound I-80 collector ramp near the Spaghetti Bowl as early as 11 p.m. While the crews place new lane striping in this area, westbound I-80 drivers will not be able to access southbound I-15, SR-201, or the 2100 South exit.

To help keep traffic moving, UDOT will suspend construction on the new I-15 interchange project at 5600 South in Roy for Hill Air Force Base’s annual “Warriors Over the Wasatch” air show on June 29 and 30. In addition, UDOT traffic engineers will be monitoring conditions and adjusting nearby signals to help traffic flow into the base.

Because of limited on-base parking, UDOT highly encourages show attendees to carpool, use FrontRunner or temporary shuttle service. The Utah Transit Authority is offering a discounted, $5 day pass for FrontRunner rides to the air show. Shuttles will run frequently from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from the Clearfield FrontRunner Station to the South Gate of Hill Air Force Base.

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change.
