Ramp System Open on Northbound I-15 in Sandy

Drivers on northbound I-15 will need to use the ramp system to access I-215 and 7200 South

In February 2021 we opened a new ramp system, or collector-distributor system, adjacent to northbound I-15 from 9400 South to I-215. Drivers on northbound I-15 will enter the ramp system prior to 9000 South and use it to exit at 7200 South and I-215.

If drivers miss the ramp system entrance, they should continue north on I-15 and use 5400 South as a detour to access 7200 South and I-215.

This ramp system is similar to the one between 2100 South and 900 South in Salt Lake City and has a three-lane freeway section separated from the I-15 travel lanes by a concrete barrier. This ramp system is the only way that drivers are able to access 7200 South and I-215 from northbound I-15. This improvement was designed to enhance safety and reduce congestion by eliminating the weaving as drivers merge in and out of the I-15 travel lanes between 9000 South and 7200 South. This will reduce crashes by nearly 40% and travel times by 50%.  

The animation below was developed to help drivers learn how to drive the ramp system.  

The ramp system was part of the I-15 Northbound project, which also widened northbound I-15 to add a new travel lane from Bangerter Highway to 9400 South. The new lane and all other construction activities were completed in summer 2021.
