UDOT advises drivers to expect delays on Bangerter Highway and US-89 this weekend

Expect weekend delays due for utility work in Salt Lake and Davis counties

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises drivers to plan ahead for two major closures in Salt Lake and Davis counties this weekend.

Starting Friday, April 26, at 10 p.m., Bangerter Highway will be closed in both directions between 12600 South and Redwood while crews relocate utilities so UDOT can build a new interchange at 13400 South. During this time there will be no through traffic on Bangerter Highway for both the northbound and southbound travel lanes. This section of the highway will reopen Monday, April 29 in time for the morning commute.

Drivers traveling east and west on 13400 South will still be able to travel through the intersection but will not be able to turn onto southbound Bangerter Highway. Drivers traveling north and south on 2700 West will still be able to travel through the intersection but will not be able to turn onto northbound Bangerter Highway.

Drivers should expect delays in the area and can use 12600 South and Redwood Road as alternate routes.

This work is part of the UDOT Bangerter South project, which is converting the intersections of 9800 South, 13400 South and 2700 West into freeway-style interchanges, which are anticipated to be complete at the end of 2025. These projects are a key part of UDOT's efforts to eliminate stop lights along Bangerter Highway.

Also this weekend, southbound US-89 will be closed at South Weber Drive beginning Friday, April 26 at 1 p.m. while crews install a new water pipeline for the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District. The road will reopen on Monday, April 29, in time for the morning commute. All US-89 southbound traffic should detour to I-15 South from Riverdale. Through traffic will be detoured back to Riverdale on I-84 West.

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change.
