S.R. 108 (2000 West - 3500 West - Midland Drive)
Construction Update - 11/19/09
This construction season’s work is anticipated to wrap up before Thanksgiving. In spring 2010, crews will return to apply a chip seal to some areas, including sections of 2000 West and Midland Drive.
Here's what to expect over the next week:
- 1175 South to 700 South (Syracuse): Utility crews will be finishing up in this area.
- 700 South to 800 North (Syracuse and West Point): Road work is finished in this area. Crews continue to work on minor landscaping items and mailbox installations. A sidewalk and pedestrian curb ramp will be installed next week at the southeast side of the intersection of 800 North and 2000 West.
- 4000 South to 1900 West (Roy/West Haven): Crews have completed roadway paving from 4000 South to 1900 West. Utility crews will be working along the shoulders. Minimal impacts to traffic are expected with the utility work.
A nearby project will involve pipe work on S.R. 104 (also known as Wilson Lane or 21st Street) just west of I-84/I-15 in Ogden. On Monday and Tuesday, crews will work near the intersection of Wilson Lane and 1550 West in Ogden. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction. Access to local businesses will remain open.
Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.
In addition to roadway activities, utility crews will be at work throughout the construction corridor. Intermittent lane reductions may be necessary to provide crews the space to safely operate equipment, though most of the time one lane of traffic will be open in each direction.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES
Driveway tie-ins: Crews will pave from the edge of roadway to the edge of the right-of-way, or to the edge of the existing paved driveway. More Information

UTA Route 626
Due to construction on Syracuse Road (1700 South), UTA Route 626 is detoured. Three bus stops on 2000 West (S.R. 108) between 1700 South and 1175 South are temporarily closed; these stops are located on the east side of the street, and are for northbound service only. Bus stops for southbound buses remain open. For full detour information, visit http://www.rideuta.com/ridingUTA/detours.aspx
Related Projects
Two additional UDOT projects are also in active construction at both ends of this project corridor:
-On the south end of S.R.108 at 2000 West, Syracuse Road (1700 South), between 1000 West and 2000 West, is being widened to five lanes on an east-west section of S.R.108. More information on this project is available at: www.udot.utah.gov/syracuseroad
-On the north end, the S.R. 79/Hinckley Drive Extension (3100 South) will tie into S.R. 108 (Midland Drive). More information is available at: http://www.udot.utah.gov/main/f?p=100:pg:0:::1:T,V:1905,

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION
Traffic Impacts
- One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction most of the time.
- Plan ahead for extra commute time. Be patient.
- Slow down and pay attention to speed limits. Fines are increased for speeding in a construction zone.
Work Hours
Crews will generally work during weekday hours, though some weekend shifts may occasionally be needed. Because of the large concentration of residences on the corridor, night work will be kept to a minimum.
Access for Residents and Businesses
During construction, crews will maintain reasonable access to resident driveways and businesses as much as possible. Inevitably, there will be some impacts during construction. For instance:
- New pavement requires 1-2 hours to set up; when crews are paving in front of driveways, access will be limited.
- On-street parking may be restricted during construction; in some areas, on-street parking may be eliminated once the three-lane project is complete. When crews are working in your area, please do not park in the work zone.
- The project team recognizes the inconvenience construction presents, and will coordinate with property owners in advance.
- If you have special considerations pertaining to access, please let the project team know in advance.
