Together with Springville and Mapleton citizens and leaders, UDOT recently celebrated the "substantial completion" of the S.R. 77 construction project with the re-opening of Springville's 400 South between Main Street and 1750 West.
The road had been closed for 11 months as construction crews have worked to:
- Widen the roadway to five lanes (including a center median)
- Demolish and rebuild the bridge at 400 West
- Build a new bridge over the railroad tracks at 1500 West
- Reconfigure the S.R. 77 interchange with I-15, creating a new single point urban interchange (SPUI) configuration
- Add an auxiliary lane on southbound I-15 between S.R. 75 and S.R. 77
"A lot of work has been completed in a relatively short period of time," said Bryan Adams, UDOT program director. "We were able to accomplish that because everyone pulled together to make it happen: the cities of Springville and Mapleton, the citizens and the businesses all made it possible for our construction workers to get in and get it done."
In addition to Springville and Mapleton leaders and citizens, Adams also expressed appreciation to the construction company, Utah County Constructors, which is a joint venture of Wadsworth Brothers and Staker-Parsons construction companies. According to Adams, the $93.8 million project is now considered to be "substantially complete," although there are still a few finishing details left to be completed. Work on these details will continue through spring 2010.
