The ramp from southbound I-15 to I-215 in North Salt Lake is scheduled to close from Friday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. When it reopens, it will be restricted to one lane for most of the next week.

Drivers — especially those heading to the Salt Lake City International Airport — should plan to use Interstate 80 as an alternate route. The closure is part of a project to repave I-215 between I-15 and 2100 North.

In Lehi, northbound lanes on I-15 will split between 2100 North and S.R. 92 beginning as early as Saturday night, and continuing for several months.

Drivers planning to exit at S.R. 92 will need to merge into the two right lanes prior to 2100 North. The split allows work on a new Triumph Boulevard bridge.

The 10600 South bridge over I-15 is scheduled to close from Friday at 9 p.m. to Monday before the morning commute. All I-15 on- and off-ramps at 10600 South will remain open.

The closure will allow crews to apply a waterproof coating to the bridge pavement to help it last longer.

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. Updated information is available on the UDOT traffic app, or online at udottraffic.utah.gov.
