SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation will close Interstate 80 near Sugarhouse over the weekend for reconstruction.

Both directions of I-80 will be closed from 700 East (exit 125) to Foothill Drive (exit 129), as well as 1300 East where it goes over I-80.

The new bridge is built and ready to replace the old one. Crews plan to demolish the 1300 East bridge that goes over I-80 and slide a new bridge into place on Saturday. The bridge was built in the 1960’s and is due for a complete replacement, according to Becky Stromness, UDOT project manager.

1300 East will remain closed at I-80 through the morning of Friday, April 21.

Drivers should also plan for closures on Interstate 15 near Centerville this weekend. The overnight closures will allow crews to place beams that connect I-15 to the new West Davis Corridor.

I-15 northbound will close between Parish Lane in Centerville and Park Lane in Farmington starting Friday at 8 p.m. The road will reopen at 7:30 Saturday morning.

Crews will close the road one more time starting on Sunday at 8 p.m. until 5 a.m. Monday.

Plan ahead and take I-215 to Legacy Parkway. If everything goes as planned, UDOT hopes to have the project completed by the summer of 2024.
