SALT LAKE CITY — Motorists should be aware of a freeway closure in Salt Lake City before heading out this weekend, the Utah Department of Transportation said. Also, the road through Ogden Canyon will close Monday.
Eastbound I-80 will close between 2300 East and Foothill Drive beginning at 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Monday, UDOT officials said in a news release.
Traffic will be detoured onto the I-215 east belt route, then off I-215 at 3300 South. The detour will continue onto northbound I-215, and then back to eastbound I-80.
Drivers should expect delays of about 30 minutes along that route, UDOT said.
Crews will be breaking up the existing concrete and paving over it as part of a major I-80 maintenance project. Similar work took place on westbound I-80 last weekend.
Motorists should also remember that I-80 is limited to one lane in each direction overnight and on weekends between 1300 East and the I-80/I-215 split.
There will be a full closure of EB I-80 in Salt Lake City this weekend. Get the details in this week's UDOT Construction Update. #Utahpic.twitter.com/ghE5Ink9tX
