UDOT

Crews will install a temporary barrier and apply new lane markings

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (Aug. 7, 2025) — The Utah Department of Transportation is warning Salt Lake County and Northern Utah travelers to plan ahead for weekend traffic impacts along Interstate 215 and Interstate 15 in Davis County.

I-215 West Belt

On Friday, August 8, at 11 p.m., northbound I-215 between North Temple and State Route 201 will be reduced to one lane through August 9 at 9 a.m. These lane closures will allow crews to begin shifting all northbound lanes to the east to accommodate the reconstruction of the freeway. The new traffic shift will be in place by Saturday morning and will create a safe work zone for the installation of a new drainage system. 

UDOT is also urging drivers to take an alternate route, as the ramp from southbound Redwood Road to northbound I-215 will close Friday, Aug. 8 at 11 p.m. through October as part of the reconstruction project. 

Then, southbound I-215 between North Temple and SR-201 will be reduced to two lanes each night from Saturday, August 9, at 9 p.m. through August 12 at 11 a.m., while crews place a temporary barrier to protect the work zone. 

On the evening of August 13, southbound I-215 will be temporarily reduced down to three lanes and southbound I-215 lanes will be shifted to the west through October to create a safe work zone for installing a new drainage system in the center of the freeway. 

UDOT recently started reconstructing a key stretch of I-215 between SR-201 and North Temple. UDOT is repaving three miles of I-215, 14 miles of ramps on SR-201, I-80 and California Avenue and rehabilitating 22 bridges to extend the life of this corridor. 

I-15 in Davis County

Northern Utah travelers should also plan for southbound I-15 between 200 North and Park Lane to be reduced to one lane for two nights this weekend. On both August 8 and 9 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. lanes will be closed will crews place new lane striping on the freeway. In addition, the southbound I-15 off-ramp to Park Lane (Exit 325) will be closed for striping the night of Aug. 9 as well. Drivers should take Parrish Lane (Exit 319) as a detour.
