CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION
Update | July 30, 2024
LANE SHIFT
Starting Wednesday night, Aug. 21, there will be a new traffic pattern on Bangerter Highway at 9800 South. Eastbound and northbound lanes will be shifted toward the shoulder to allow crews to work on utilities. Drivers should use caution, slow down and follow all traffic control devices when driving through the work zone.
MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR STORAGE SITE
As part of the Bangerter project, crews will use the empty space on Mountain View Corridor (MVC) between 12600 South and 13400 South as a storage site. Activities at this site could include material hauling and storage, recycled concrete crushing operations, machinery storage and other construction needs as necessary. This storage site will be in place for the duration of the Bangerter project, which is anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025.
Bangerter Highway and MVC are coordinating on utilizing the empty spaces along MVC to reduce the expensive and long hauling distances to landfills. This demonstrates UDOT’s commitment to one of its core values, to be fiscally responsible. UDOT sees recycling of concrete, which for this project will be reused on Bangerter Highway, as an innovative transportation solution. Recycling of concrete also contributes to UDOT’s efforts to reduce construction waste in landfills and importing materials from gravel pits.
Nearby residents can expect increased noise, dust, vibration and construction vehicles entering and exiting the site. Due to night noise restrictions, most activities will only be conducted during the day.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION WORK
Work on the Bangerter South project has begun. During construction, drivers should expect lane shifts and traffic delays. Temporary lane closures during the day and at night are possible as crews complete various construction activities. Please note that even though you might not see workers actively working on the roadway, the traffic control devices are in place for a reason, including the safety of both drivers and crew members.
