As part of the project, UDOT has been working to widen southbound SR-36 between Sunset Road and Stansbury Parkway, which is expected to be finished this summer.
UDOT also shared some traffic impacts in Salt Lake County on Interstate 80.
Eastbound lanes and ramps on I-80 in Parley's Canyon will be closed at exits 132-134 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. for paving through June 14. Lambs Canyon (exit 137) and heading westbound is the alternate route. Detours are posted.

Former Tesla Dealership Manager Says It's "Game Over" for Elon Musk
Back in May, as Tesla Takedown rallies and anti-Musk vandalism rocked the world, Tesla dealership manager Matthew LaBrot launched "Tesla Employees Against Elon" — an act of protest that swiftly got him fired. We wrote about LaBrot's symbolic act of defiance against Musk's political maneuvers at the time. Now, a fresh tell-all interview with Hard Reset is shining some light on just how drastically things have changed for Tesla over the past few months. LaBrot is, first and foremost, a Tesla superfan. He currently rotates between driving a Tesla Model Y and a Cybertruck, despite getting sacked by the company. A self-described "EV activist," LaBrot's issue isn't with the brand per se, as his website makes clear: "the problem is Elon." "You know, this wasn't a new thing for me," he said of his digital protest. "For almost six years, I've been focused on overcoming misinformation about EVs and helping grow that mission." "Once we hit a tipping point where the person who's running this company is now pushing customers away from the mission, then the priority shifted," he continued. "That priority was to be an activist to try to save the company." Having worked with Tesla since 2019, LaBrot had a front row seat as the trepidation with Musk began to set in. In recent years, he found it wasn't hesitation over electric vehicles, but with the noxious man the brand now seemed to represent pushing customers away. "We noticed customers, return customers, shying away from us a little bit," he noted. "And that's when I started to see the things that he [Musk] was putting on Twitter and the political views he started to have." The tipping point, the former EV salesman said, was the billionaire's infamous salute. "When it came to the salute — I still call it a salute — I was like, Tesla's going to take care of this," he told Hard Reset. "In 2010, CEOs were getting fired for having affairs. This guy's doing all this crazy stuff and Tesla's not going to do anything?" That was when he realized how deep Musk's rot went, especially when Tesla's board of directors "doubled down and made him even more of a figurehead." Now, LaBrot's not surprised that decision is biting those same executives in the craw. Going forward, "they're absolutely hosed," he said. "I expect gigantic drops in sales, even potentially lower than Q1 sales." Asked whether Musk can fix the damage he's caused the brand, the former manager isn't optimistic. "I don't think that there's anything he can do to change the people's opinion that have decided they're not going to support Tesla outside of him leaving," LaBrot asserted. "A lot of people that I've spoken to don't even think that's enough at this point," he added. "They want him to sell all his shares and things like that, which I don't expect. I think for Tesla, as far as vehicle sales go, it's game over."

Los Angeles is about to get a lot smoggier
With help from Camille von Kaenel THE DAY AFTER: It's getting hotter in Los Angeles — and we're not talking about ICE raids or wildfires. President Donald Trump on Thursday killed California's vehicle emissions rules, designed to reduce emissions and pollution in smoggy regions like SoCal, delivering on his Day 1 executive order to quickly roll back electric vehicle mandates around the country. 'We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating California's electric vehicle mandate, once and for all,' Trump said at a White House ceremony before signing three resolutions nixing rules aimed at phasing out gas-powered cars and heavy-duty diesel trucks. Gov. Gavin Newsom offered a glimpse of California's next steps: Besides the obvious lawsuit (the state's 26th under Trump 2.0, for those keeping track at home), he put out an executive order to start developing new regulations — to be approved under a future Democratic administration — and start tracking which car and truck manufacturers are still following the state's ZEV sales targets. That data would be used to offer compliant companies preferential treatment, like incentives to encourage drivers to buy their vehicles. But there's very little the state can do in the near term to replace the rules aimed at weaning drivers off fossil fuels to meet lofty climate goals and reach federal pollution standards. 'It's impossible without unbelievably massive, draconian steps that are politically untenable, like no-drive days,' said Craig Segall, a former deputy executive officer at the California Air Resources Board and a policy consultant. Meanwhile, there's another threat coming. The Trump administration could attempt to sanction California for failing to meet federal air quality standards under the Clean Air Act — standards they've assured the state won't reach. As CARB Chair Liane Randolph cautioned state lawmakers during a hearing last month, it could be years before a court decision is reached, and the state will have to find alternatives or risk losing billions of federal highway dollars. That threat is especially acute for California, which has struggled for decades to reduce the nation's worst smog in the Los Angeles area and Central Valley and comply with the Clean Air Act. The American Lung Association released a report earlier this year that found California's now-dormant rules could have reduced 75 tons of smog-forming nitrogen oxides a day and saved residents billions in medical bills. If history holds, it may already be too late for state officials to avoid a fight with the EPA. The agency threatened sanctions against the state in 2019, during Trump's first term, just days after it revoked an earlier version of its electric vehicle rules. 'It is hard to imagine that they will not threaten sanctions,' said Ann Carlson, who led the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration under then-President Joe Biden. 'The president clearly has it out for California, and Los Angeles is obviously in his sights.' EPA, when asked about the possibility of sanctions, said in a statement that it 'will continue to implement the Clean Air Act as provided in law and will continue to hope that California can get into attainment after decades of nonattainment.' The auto industry doesn't appear ready to strike a bargain with California. John Bozzella, president and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the industry's main trade group, blasted the state's rules in a statement, calling them 'harmful to auto affordability, to consumer choice, to industry competitiveness and to economic activity.' But California will have at least one car company on its side. Stellantis, which inked a deal last year to follow the EV rules even if they went away, reaffirmed its commitment Thursday. 'Stellantis continues to honor its agreement with CARB,' Stellantis spokesperson Jodi Tinson said in a statement. — AN Did someone forward you this newsletter? Sign up here! QUICK JAB: Trump also used his White House signing ceremony to take a jab at Tesla CEO Elon Musk, with whom he's been beefing since the billionaire left his administration. 'Now we know why Elon doesn't like me so much,' Trump quipped during a wide-ranging that also touched on topics like inflation and his disdain for wind turbines. Trump later said that Musk never asked him to save EV rules and that 'he got a little bit strange' over other 'smaller things.' — AN DELAYS DELAYS: California officials are delaying some of their own climate rules, too. The California Public Utilities Commission decided to give builders a little more time to wean themselves off natural gas and propane Thursday when it pushed back the date by which it would end an incentive for buildings that use both natural gas or propane and electricity. Builders can now claim a subsidy for extending an electrical line to a building that also uses natural gas or propane until June 30, 2027, instead of June 30, 2025. The CPUC had decided to end the subsidy to subtly disincentivize the mixed-fuel buildings but pushed it back Thursday because of a 'material shortage in supply chain' and 'permitting delays,' according to a summary Thursday. Also this week: CalRecycle granted packaging manufacturers an 18-month extension Wednesday to meet new requirements to label products 'compostable,' citing the risk of market disruption and customer confusion. — CvK AND THEN THERE WERE THREE: Sacramento isn't the only West Coast state capital in a cap-and-trade debate. A bipartisan group of Oregon lawmakers is considering setting up a more robust carbon market, but can't agree how to spend the money, Anne C. Mulkern reports for POLITICO's E&E News. Oregon Republicans supported using market revenues for projects that include freeway widening. But a coalition of climate, health and disadvantaged community advocates are pushing back, saying larger highways would increase driving and planet-warming emissions. A cap-and-invest program approved by the state Legislature would likely replace a smaller carbon market set up by the state's environmental agency, which started in January. The Oregon lawmakers hope to have a framework by early 2026, when they reconvene for the next legislative session. — AM, CvK RAIL REBUFF: The leader of California's high-speed rail project is not giving up on $4 billion in federal grants quietly. High-Speed Rail Authority CEO Ian Choudri slammed the Trump administration in a letter Thursday, calling its justification for a proposed termination of Biden-era grants 'unfounded' and 'outright misleading.' 'Hostility to public investments in high-speed rail, and to California's leadership — hostility that dates back to FRA's initial attempt to revoke federal funding to the Program in May 2019 — appears to be the real basis for the proposed determination,' Choudri wrote, referring to the Trump administration's attempt to terminate a $1 billion grant during his first term. The Federal Railroad Administration announced earlier this month that it was prepared to claw back federal funding, arguing that the project has no viable path forward. The agency, in a 315-page report, said the rail line hadn't identified $7 billion needed to finish its initial Central Valley line, and cited instability in cap-and-trade auction revenues, the project's largest funding source. Choudri rejected those claims, pointing to a Newsom proposal that would guarantee at least $1 billion annually from cap and trade through 2045 and an October FRA report that didn't find significant compliance issues with grant criteria. — AN — An Environmental Defense Fund and Cornell University report details how state insurers of last resort can drive climate resilience with mitigation discounts and grants. — The Leadership Counsel for Justice and Accountability's Asha Sharma opines against Newsom's proposal to reauthorize cap and trade without pollution-reducing reforms in the Fresno Bee. — United Farm Workers and Faith in the Valley have received increasing reports of ICE agents in the Central Valley.
