UDOT Region 1 construction report for Aug 13-19

(Press Release)OGDEN -- The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises motorists of the following road construction and maintenance activities that could cause traffic impacts in the state's Northern Region:

Davis County

North Salt Lake
Aug 13-19: Traffic is now in its final configuration through the ExpressLinks project in North Salt Lake. Crews are now taking care of final items needed to complete this project. Motorists should keep this in mind as they pass through the area between the Salt Lake County line and 600 North by being watchful for vehicles and workers throughout the project alongside the open lanes of traffic, and stay within the speed limit. Some exits and ramps will still close for short periods in the next few months to facilitate the final touch-up work on the project. On August 23, the new Express Lanes electronic tolling system will go active. For more information about that, go to http://www.udot.utah.gov/expresslanes/.

Woods Cross
Aug 13-19: Crews on 500 South (SR-68) are pouring concrete at various locations throughout the corridor, along the south side of the road. Motorists should reduce speed, be aware of their surroundings, and watch for workers and equipment adjacent to open lanes of travel. For more information, call the 500 South Construction Hotline at 801-904-4112, or e-mail davis500south@utah.gov.

Bountiful
Aug 13-19: Concrete pavement rehabilitation is being conducted on I-15, between Bountiful and Farmington. Week night lane closures occur Monday through Friday from 9:30 p.m. until 7 a.m. northbound, and from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. southbound. On weekends, the lane closures are from 9:30 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on Monday northbound, and from 7 p.m. on Friday to 5 a.m. on Monday southbound. Lane closures will vary from one to two lanes depending on the work taking place. All work is preceded by electronic messaging signs or arrow signs, indicating which lanes are closed ahead. Motorists with time-sensitive travel are encouraged to use the Legacy Parkway as an alternate to I-15.

Farmington
Aug 13-19: Crews are constructing a realignment of SR-106 (Main Street), from the Farmington Creek Bridge to Park Lane. Crews will work each day from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., constructing new roadway surface, curb and gutter, pedestrian access ramps, sidewalk, and property accesses. One lane in each direction is being maintained, with flaggers present to direct traffic as needed. Motorists are encouraged to reduce speed through this area, be aware of workers and equipment working adjacent to lanes of travel, and to be prepared to stop at any time.

Layton
Aug 13-19: To accommodate bridge work on the Layton Parkway Interchange project, northbound I-15 may be restricted to up to two lanes from 8 p.m. to 11 a.m, Mondays through Saturdays and all day on Sunday. Meanwhile, southbound I-15 may also be restricted to up to two lanes from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m., Mondays through Saturdays and all day on Sunday. These lane restrictions will continue to be in place periodically throughout the remainder of the interchange construction in December. Motorists should merge to the open lanes, and be watchful for workers and equipment adjacent to traffic lanes while traveling through this area. For more information about this project, call (801) 990-5555, or email laytoninterchange@langdongroupinc.com.

Aug 13-19: Roadway excavation and reconstruction activities on Main Street (SR-126) have begun on the west side of Main Street in Layton. Crews are conducting earthwork for the Layton Parkway and Main Street elevated intersection, so motorists in this area should be wary of large trucks and earthmoving equipment. Traffic is still limited to one lane in each direction on both sides of Gentile Street, with the left lane on westbound Gentile Street reserved for LEFT TURNS ONLY. This area remains very congested, and motorists with time-sensitive travel may want to consider alternate routes, specifically during the morning and afternoon commuting periods. For more information about this project, call (801) 990-5555, or email laytoninterchange@langdongroupinc.com.

August 21-22: Early Notification is given that nnorthbound I-15 will close at the Fort Lane exit (Exit 330), from Saturday, August 21, at 11 p.m. to Sunday, August 22, at 4 a.m., for moving the second bridge span into place as a part of the new Layton Parkway Interchange. Lane restrictions will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, with one lane closing periodically until the full closure is achieved by 11 p.m. Traffic will be detoured from SB I-15 at Fort Lane to Gentile Street then to Main Street in Layton, and motorists should follow the marked detour route. To avoid major traffic congestion in South Layton, northbound I-15 motorists with time-sensitive travel are encouraged to use US-89 (exit 324) in Farmington, traveling north to I-84 in Uintah (WB Ramp 87), and from there west to Riverdale where they will regain I-15.

Aug 13-19: Crews have completed their work on Antelope Drive (SR-108), a.k.a. Syracuse Road, between 1000 and 2000 West. For the next several weeks, crews will conduct final lane striping and "punch-list" work items to complete the roadway and betterments, and installing the timing equipment and coordinating signals at the 1000 and 2000 West intersections. While this work is completed, there should be few traffic impacts, but always be alert for construction vehicles or workers in the roadway, and be prepared to stop at any time.

West Point
Aug 13-19: Crews are placing a chip seal and making pedestrian ramp upgrades along SR-107 (300 North), from SR-126 in Clearfield to 4500 West in West Point. This project will last through August 21. Crews will work from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily, with traffic limited to one lane through the work zones. Traffic is being managed with a pilot car and flaggers. No Parking is permitted in the work zone during construction hours, and signs will be posted the day before any parking limitations are placed in a specific area due to the work being conducted. Motorists should reduce speeds when approaching this work, stay in your lane, and be prepared to stop at any time.

Riverdale
Aug 13-19: Crews on Riverdale Road (SR-26) are conducting utility relocations, roadway excavation and paving preparation in Phase Three of the project, from Lincoln Avenue to Washington Boulevard (US-89). When traveling through any portion of this construction zone, motorists should reduce speeds, stay within the lanes, and be wary of equipment and trucks entering and exiting traffic lanes.

Aug 13-19: Work is proceeding forward on the reconstruction of 400 North in Marriott-Slaterville, between 1200 West and I-15. 1200 West has reopened to traffic and will remain open through the August 16, when crews will close the intersection again for the remaining concrete pours for another 3-4 week period. Motorists are urged to stay off freshly poured concrete as oonce it has been placed, damage to the concrete is difficult to repair and will extend the length of the work schedule. Concrete work could take place Monday through Saturday from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. Curb and gutter crews will also begin work during the week of August 16, and excavations and structural fill are nearing completion. Work is being conducted throughout this project, so motorists should be watchful for workers and equipment at all times, reduce their speeds, and be prepared to stop at any time.
