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 (as of 09/22/2021)

• Crews are expecting to finish placing the new roadway surface, called a microsurface, along the corridor by Sunday night.
• The night of Monday, September 27, crews will begin to install rumble strips along I-15 in the new road surface. This activity is expected to take up to a week and a half to complete.
• Immediately following rumble strip installation, crews will begin to place permanent striping and road messages on I-15. This will take up to 9 nights to complete.

Work will take place nightly from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. up to seven days a week.

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

Traffic Alerts

• During microsurfacing, there will be lane closures on ramps along the freeway, especially at Exit 257 in Spanish Fork. Motorists can expect moderate traffic delays on I-15 during work hours.
• For your safety and the safety of those working in the area, the speed limit on I-15 will be reduced to 55 through the construction corridor.
• There will be NO wide-load restrictions through the work zone.

Safety

• Please use extra caution 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.

Due to delays caused by material shortages, the project is expected to be complete by mid-October.
