UDOT - Expresslink

Project Updates

UPCOMING PROJECT ACTIVITIES:

The southbound off-ramp from I-15 to 600 North is expected to reopen today, Thursday November 19, approximately 2 weeks early.

Weather permitting; the U.S. 89 Bridge over I-15 from North Salt Lake will be CLOSED from 9:00am to 3:00 pm Monday, November 30 and Tuesday, December 1 for paving to switch traffic onto the new bridge.

There will be no access to Beck Street during this closure.
Motorists are advised to use I-15 as an alternative and should access it via 500 South or 2600 South in Bountiful.
Please be prepared for lane shifts at the bridge following these closures.

CONTINUING TRAFFIC IMPACTS:
The on-ramp from southbound U.S. 89 to southbound I-15 is closed for roadway reconstruction for approximately 2 months.

The U.S. 89 Bridge over I-15 will be reduced to one lane during this time.
Access to Southbound Beck Street will remain OPEN except during the closures scheduled for November 30 & December 1 (see above).
Motorists travelling from North Salt Lake via U.S. 89 will need to take an alternate route to access southbound I-15. Alternates include 500 South or 2600 South in Bountiful. A map is available on our website.

Traffic Configuration:

I-15 is in the new 3×2 lane configuration on the east side of the Interstate. Daily shifting of the moveable barrier will provide 3 lanes in the peak direction.

Ramps Closures:

The 2300 North and 900 West southbound on- and off-ramps will be CLOSED until late 2009.

EXPRESSLink Overview:

EXPRESSLink will increase capacity to Interstate-15 by adding Express Lanes in each direction on I-15 from 500 North to the north I-215 ramp in Davis County. In addition to Legacy Parkway, Express Lanes will help ease the commute between Salt Lake and Davis Counties.

Bridges at Beck Street, US-89, 1000 North and 800 North will also be replaced. The bridges at 800 and 1000 North will be replaced by one bridge at 1000 North.

UDOT will fast-track construction:

EXPRESSLink will use a Design-Build (DB) Construction method that overlaps the two processes typically done in sequence. DB saves money and cuts overall construction time nearly in half.
