SALT LAKE CITY — The I-80 eastbound and westbound exits at Foothill Drive will close Monday before the morning commute and will remain closed for up to four months, the Utah Department of Transportation announced Friday.
The ramp from westbound I-80 to Foothill Drive and Parleys Way is scheduled to remain closed through July and the loop ramp from eastbound I-80 to Foothill Drive is scheduled to remain closed through mid-September.
The closures will allow crews to reconstruct several bridges at the I-80 Foothill Drive interchange and are the first in a series of closures at the I-80/Foothill Drive interchange. Crews will reconstruct the Foothill Drive bridges in both directions over Parleys Way, I-80 and I-215.

- Westbound state Route 201 at I-215 will close Saturday from 9 p.m. - 6 a.m.
- Eastbound I-80 will be reduced to one lane at the I-15 interchange near downtown Salt Lake City on Saturday from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m.
- Collector ramp from westbound I-80 to 2100 South/1300 South/900 South at the Spaghetti Bowl will be closed for five nights May 8-12 from 9 p.m. until the morning.
