Restricted to Two Lanes Significant construction activities continue on the bridge decks over 2000 East and 2300 East, affecting traffic on mainline I-80. Eastbound and westbound I-80 over both structures is restricted to two lanes . Traffic is also restricted to one lane periodically during overnight hours, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., for specific operations . Eastbound and westbound I-80 is shifted to the inside, with the outside half of the structures closed for deck work. The two lanes are narrow, and the speed limit is reduced to 55 m.p.h.
Concrete barrier is in place, protecting vehicles from the work sites.
UDOT assures motorists that the lane restrictions are causing minimal delays, except during peak hours. During peak hours, drivers should expect moderate delays where traffic merges into two lanes. Operations are taking place behind the concrete barrier, with no lane closures on eastbound I-80. Minor work continues below the structure on State Street. Periodic lane closures may be implemented on northbound or southbound State Street during off-peak hours.
