All four Bangerter projects on track to wrap up in late 2025

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (July 10, 2025) — The Utah Department of Transportation will open 4700 South at Bangerter Highway to east-west travel tomorrow, bringing relief and increased traffic flow for local and regional travelers. 

This traffic shift is a significant milestone for the Bangerter Highway interchanges project. Progress continues as UDOT converts intersections into freeway-style interchanges at 4700 South in Taylorsville and West Valley City, 9800 South in South Jordan, 13400 South in Riverton and 2700 West in Bluffdale.

Next week, crews will start pouring concrete for the new 13400 South bridge deck on July 15 and July 22. Traffic will start driving under the new bridge by the end of July. 

Bangerter Highway traffic is scheduled to move under the new 9800 South bridge and on top of the 2700 West bridge by the end of August. 

All four projects are on track to wrap up by the end of fall.

For more than a decade, UDOT has been working to eliminate stoplights on Bangerter Highway by converting intersections into freeway-style interchanges. While UDOT is currently focused on upgrading 4700 South, 9800 South, 13400 South and 2700 West, the plan is to eventually go all the way to California Avenue.

Bangerter Highway is one of the Salt Lake Valley’s largest north-to-south corridors, moving an average of 60,000 vehicles per day. Removing stoplights and converting all intersections into freeway-style interchanges will enhance safety and help keep traffic moving in the thriving west side of the Salt Lake Valley. 

“Opening 4700 South to east-west traffic is a big milestone that will make a real difference for everyone moving through this area,” UDOT Region Two Director Robert Stewart said. “We’re keeping the momentum going on this project, and getting closer and closer to the finish line every day.”
