SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation urges drivers to plan ahead for a full closure of state Route 201 at 9 p.m. Friday between Bangerter Highway and Redwood Road while crews place beams for a new bridge on I-215.
During this closure, UDOT recommends using I-80 as an alternate route. Westbound traffic on S.R. 201 will be detoured onto Redwood Road, and eastbound traffic will be detoured onto Bangerter Highway. Drivers should expect minor delays and plan to avoid the area if possible on Friday night. All lanes are scheduled to reopen by 7 a.m. Saturday.
The I-215 bridges over S.R. 201 are being rebuilt as part of UDOT’s I-215 west belt reconstruction from S.R. 201 to 4700 South. The project is moving forward during winter months, with activities such as concrete paving and barrier installation continuing as weather permits. Crews are also working to install sign foundations and traffic management system equipment.
Construction began in May 2016 and is on track for completion in the fall.
DRIVER ADVISORY: Full closure of SR 201 at I-215 tonight. The road will be closed from 9pm to 7am Sat. https://t.co/N6MwvGx1C1#Utahpic.twitter.com/IgihVCpZ6c
