Construction Update

February 15, 2024

Upcoming Activities

As early as Monday, February 19, crews will close 1510 West on the south side of 9000 South to install a new canal irrigation line across 1510 West. This closure will last for approximately two weeks. Business access will remain open.

The detour route will be using 9200 South from Redwood Road. See detour map for additional information.

As early as Monday, February 19 and lasting through Friday, February 22, crews will close the right lane of westbound 9000 South near Galilee Way (1210 West) between 6:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. This lane closure is needed to enable crews to backfill around the new concrete wall as large equipment cannot fit on the sidewalk.

Motorists should be prepared for extended travel time through the corridor.

As early as Tuesday, February 20 between 7:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., crews will have rolling lane closures on 9000 South between Redwood Road and the Jordan River. This lane closure is needed to allow crews to obtain core samples of the roadway to determine the condition of the roadway and subsurface along the entire corridor. This information will assist crews when scheduling and planning the asphalt surface replacement.

Motorists should be prepared for moving and shifting lane closures and work vehicles stopping in the travel lanes. Please allow for extra following distance, reduce your speed, and plan for extended travel time through the corridor.

Ongoing Activities

• Crews continue to work on a new concrete wall near Galilee Way on the north side of 9000 South. Please take extra caution in this area as the work is immediately adjacent to the roadway.

• Crews continue work on new storm drain lines on the south side of 9000 South near 900 West along with new canal irrigation lines between 1300 West and Redwood Road. As this work continues, businesses may have short-term access interruptions.

• Additional work continues near the Jordan River where crews are forming and placing rebar for the new bridge decks for the outside travel lanes.

• Additional utility relocation work continues between the Jordan River and Redwood Road.

*Schedule is subject to change due to weather, equipment, or material delays.

Crews are installing new canal irrigation lines on the south side of 9000 South near 1600 West.

Crews have begun framing and forming the bridge decks for the outside lanes of 9000 South over the Jordan River.

Support Local Business

Supporting local businesses not only stimulates local economies, but the tax revenue made through sale taxes from local businesses supports local government. This is then used to reinvest in the community. During construction, it is especially important to make a commitment to shop locally and support small businesses along the corridor.

Accesses to all your favorite businesses will always be maintained - just maybe in a different location. #ShopLocal

Safety

Information for bicyclists and pedestrians

As a reminder, all bicycles need to use the approved detour and avoid 9000 South. Additionally, there is no pedestrian access between 900 West and 700 West. Pedestrians are prohibited from using 9000 South between this section as the roadway has been narrowed and there are no usable pedestrian facilities. The approved detour maps are below.

We ask all drivers in work zones to:

• Slow down – drive the posted speeds, they're there for your safety.
• Be kind – our workers are out there helping to keep you safe and improve the roadways.
• Pay attention – both to workers directing you and surrounding traffic; put your phone down when behind the wheel.
• Stay calm – expect delays, leave early or take an alternate route if possible; no meeting or appointment is worth risking someone's life.

Reminders
