Construction Update

February 7, 2024

Pothole Maintenance and Line Striping

Winter takes its toll on all our roads - but especially in work zones. With temperatures below 50 degrees, roadway paint and cold asphalt patching does not last long. As these maintenance issues arise, our crews address them as quickly as possible.

On February 6, crews restriped 9000 South to the lane line visibility and will continue to monitor the striping along 9000 South.

Patching potholes with hot mix asphalt lasts longer than using cold mix asphalt. However, the asphalt plants that produce hot mix asphalt are closed over the winter unless the plant receives a large enough order to produce the mix. Our crews will be working to secure some hot mix asphalt during the week of February 12th and conducting daytime lane closures to fix the potholes along 9000 South with hopes the repairs last longer!

We appreciate your patience while we continue to maintain the roadway during construction.

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 piping 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, placing rebar, and pouring concrete for the new bridge supports.

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

Galilee Way Closure

Galilee Way has been closed at 9000 South through the end of March.

This closure is necessary to complete construction activities on the north side of 9000 South without impacting traffic on 9000 South.

To access Galilee Way, please follow the detour shown on the right.

Crews have built a retaining wall near 1075 West on the south side of 9000 South.

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.
