PLAN AHEAD:

|
As early as Friday, January 22, 2021, UDOT will implement a long-term, east-west closure of 12600 S across Bangerter Highway. This closure will remain in place through August 2021 and will facilitate construction of the grade-separated interchange. Designated detour routes will be signed for drivers navigating the area.
Although east-west traffic will be restricted, northbound and southbound drivers on mainline Bangerter Highway will have free-flow travel with the permanent removal of the traffic signal. Right-hand turns to/from 12600 S will also be allowed.
