Elevating Commuter Convenience: UDOT's I-215 Ramp Renovation Project Takes Center Stage

Eastbound I-215 Off-Ramp Closure and Repaving

Commuters should plan ahead for a one-lane restriction on the eastbound I-215 off-ramp to State Street on Friday, June 7, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. This temporary lane closure will allow UDOT crews to perform essential maintenance work. Following this, the entire ramp will be closed from Friday, June 7, at 10 p.m. through Sunday, June 9, at 11:59 p.m. During this time, crews will be repaving the ramp to provide a smooth, even driving surface for all vehicles.

Westbound I-215 Lane Restrictions and Bridge Work

In addition to the ramp closure, drivers can also expect intermittent overnight lane restrictions on westbound I-215 near Fashion Place Mall. These lane restrictions will be in place as UDOT crews work on the bridges spanning the freeway, with the project expected to continue through the end of the month.

Westbound I-215 On-Ramp Closure and Repaving

Later this month, the westbound I-215 on-ramp at Fashion Boulevard is scheduled to close on Friday, June 21, at 10 p.m. and reopen on Sunday, June 23, by 11:59 p.m. This closure will allow UDOT to repave the on-ramp, ensuring a smooth and safe entry onto the freeway.

Navigating Detours and Staying Informed

UDOT advises drivers to be aware of additional bridge closures near the I-80 interchange this weekend. These closures will impact access to and from I-215, including the inability for drivers from Salt Lake City International Airport to access southbound I-215, and northbound I-215 drivers being unable to access eastbound I-80. Drivers should follow the posted detour signs for the most up-to-date information.To stay informed about the latest traffic updates and construction schedules, UDOT recommends visiting the project website, where drivers can sign up for email updates. Drivers can also check the UDOT Traffic website or download the UDOT Traffic app for iPhone or Android. Additionally, following UDOT on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram can provide valuable real-time information.Remember, construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change, so it's essential for drivers to stay vigilant and plan their routes accordingly. By working together, UDOT and the community can navigate these temporary inconveniences and look forward to a smoother, safer commuting experience in the near future.
