I-15 in Lehi will close 4 nights this week

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) UDOT work on the new Triumph Blvd bridge in Lehi on Nov. 1, 2018, part of the I-15 Technology Corridor Project.

Northbound Interstate 15 in Lehi is scheduled to be closed four nights this week, from Tuesday through Friday. And I-80 will have rolling closures on Monday night in Parleys Canyon.

The freeway in Lehi will close to northbound traffic between Lehi Main Street and 2100 South.

From Tuesday through Thursday, closures will begin at 11 p.m. until 4:30 a.m. the next day. On Friday, the freeway will close at 11:59 p.m. and reopen at 6 a.m. Saturday.

Drivers will be detoured off the freeway at Lehi Main Street and then back onto the freeway via State Street and 2100 North. These closures are needed to allow crews to place beams for a new I-15 bridge.

By late 2020, I-15 in Lehi will have two additional lanes in each direction, redesigned interchanges at S.R. 92 and 2100 North, a new one-way frontage road system, and more options for drivers to access the freeway and surrounding Lehi destinations.

Elsewhere in the state, overnight lane closures are scheduled on eastbound I-80 near Jeremy Ranch in Parleys Canyon on Monday night.

Eastbound I-80 will be reduced to one lane from 8 p.m. Monday to 4 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 24. Also during this time, drivers should expect up to three “rolling closures,” where Utah Highway Patrol troopers will stop all traffic in the eastbound lanes for 15 minutes.

While these closures are in place, crews will remove the electronic sign over the freeway and install a new one as part of a project to replace these signs in various locations along the Wasatch Front.

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. Information on traffic restrictions is available online at udottraffic.utah.gov or through the UDOT Traffic app.
