Bangerter Hwy to close this weekend for sewer work, delays expected
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Utah Dept. of Transportation is urging drivers to plan ahead as major lane closures are scheduled for Bangerter Hwy. this weekend. Construction crews will be doing sewer work in the area, according to UDOT.
UDOT said to expect 'significant delays' on Bangerter Hwy. as southbound lanes will be completely closed from 12600 South to 2700 West this weekend. The closure is expected to last from 10 p.m. on Friday, May 30, through 5 a.m. on Monday, June 2.
UDOT recommends that drivers detour via 12600 South and Redwood Rd.
Here are other travel restrictions happening this weekend:
One lane closed on westbound/northbound Bangerter Hwy. between 2700 West and Redwood Rd.
No north or southbound travel on 2700 West at Bangerter Hwy.
No right turns for semi-trucks on southbound 2700 West onto westbound/northbound Bangerter Hwy.
'Both Bangerter projects in this area are nearing some significant milestones,' a UDOT press release states. 'Bridge beams at 13400 South are scheduled to be placed next week and the bridge deck of the 2700 West bridge will be poured early this summer.'
UDOT has been working to get rid of stoplights on Bangerter Highway by converting intersections into interchanges. The department is currently focused on making these changes to 4700 South, 9800 South, 13400 South, and 2700 West.
'Bangerter Highway is one of the Salt Lake Valley's largest north-to-south corridors, moving an average of 60,000 vehicles per day,' the release states. 'Removing stoplights and converting all intersections into freeway-style interchanges will enhance safety and help keep traffic moving in the thriving west side of the Salt Lake Valley.'
In the future, stoplights from 4100 South to California Avenue will also be removed, according to the department. These changes will be a continuation of the effort to help the flow of traffic through this corridor.
