The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will renew approximately 10 miles of I-15, from S.R. 178 in Payson to S.R. 156 (Main Street) in Spanish Fork. The project will be completed in three phases through September, and includes asphalt crack sealing, bridge preservation, and shoulder improvement activities, and the placement of a microsurface.

As a result, the life of the pavement will be extended for several years, and the driving experience and safety along the corridor will be improved.

Upcoming Work Activities

• Through the end of this week, crews will continue crack sealing the asphalt on I-15.
• Tonight and Thursday night, the southbound I-15 on-ramp from westbound U.S. 6 will be CLOSED temporarily between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., to accommodate crack sealing.
• Next week there is a break in the work schedule. There will be no lane closures or traffic impacts.
• On April 19, Phase 2 will begin and crews will start working to fix the drainage in the northbound lanes near Exit 250.

*Schedule subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.


During Phase 1 of this resurfacing project, work will take place nightly from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday.

Traffic Alerts

• Through the rest of this week, I-15 may be reduced to a single lane during nighttime work in alternating directions, north or southbound.
• Tonight and Thursday night, between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., traffic headed westbound on U.S. 6 can access southbound I-15 by taking 1000 North and Spanish Fork Main Street.
• During Phase 2, starting on April 19, the inside, northbound lane will be closed for up to two weeks.
• The speed limit will be reduced to 55 through the construction corridor during work hours.

Safety

• For your safety and the safety of those working in the area, please use extra caution, reduce speeds, and follow all posted signs and signals. Barrels and other traffic control devices are placed to guide motorists safely through the work zone, and protect the project team.
• Motorists are reminded to watch out for trucks entering and leaving the work zone. DO NOT follow construction vehicles into the work zone.
• Watch for slowed or stopped traffic on the freeway.
