Individual ramps will be closed occasionally for specific operations. Ramp closures will be scheduled during overnight hours on weeknights only. Crews are building the embankments for the new ramp alignments. The ramps are open, with traffic shifted slightly. Crews have built a new alignment for exiting traffic.
Construction continues on the footings for the east half of the new structure.
UDOT has worked diligently to develop a construction plan that minimizes traffic impacts to the community. Complementing the Department's traffic management plan will be regular communication that provides accurate and timely information about construction schedules. The pedestrian overpass across I-80 is important to the community, and the Department is committed to building an overpass. While federal funds designated for Kimball Junction did not provide enough money, UDOT has sponsored an application to build the pedestrian overpass with funds from the Transportation Enhancements program. The Transportation Commission has approved the application and is now waiting for federal approval.
