UDOT finishes placing bridge girders on future Mountain View Corridor interchange
March 4, 2025
Nightly closures to continue as crews prep the bridge for concrete
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) finished placing bridge girders for the new interchange at 2100 North and Redwood Road in Lehi this weekend.
Crews began placing the 180,000 pound girders during a three week-long closure that started on Friday, Feb. 21. Now, crews are preparing the girders for the upcoming placement of concrete to form the bridge deck.
Redwood Road is still closed at night to all through traffic and left turns are not permitted. This closure is anticipated to remain in place until mid-March.
As part of this project, UDOT is adding four new miles of Mountain View Corridor to connect Porter Rockwell Boulevard with 2100 North, providing another much-needed transportation option for northwest Utah County and southwest Salt Lake County drivers. It will be the first section of the Mountain View Corridor constructed as a freeway with no stoplights.
Additional work on this project includes adding wildlife fencing and creating a multi-use trail. Construction is expected to last through spring of 2026.
The Mountain View Corridor will eventually become a 35-mile freeway from I-80 in Salt Lake County to SR-73 in Utah County.
Also happening this week, crews also placed beams for a new bridge on the 5600 South project in Roy. The new bridge will take 5600 South over the Union Pacific Railroad.
Crews will continue placing beams this week, which will require several nightly closures from March 3-5.
- 5600 S underneath will be closed
- The I-15 Southbound on-ramp at Riverdale Rd will be closed each night
- Two southbound I-15 travel lanes at 5600 South will be closed each night
However, the on and off-ramps to I-15 at 5600 will remain open to motorists.
