The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has just announced lane and ramp closures on I-215, effective from October 14 to 15, 2023, due to critical pavement panel replacement work.

The lane closures will commence early Saturday morning, with full ramp closures also in effect. UDOT stresses the importance of adhering to posted detours and signage to ensure safety for all travelers.
This roadwork is part of ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and improve travel conditions in the region. UDOT spokespersons emphasize that while the closures are temporary, they are crucial for long-term road safety and efficiency.
Travelers are encouraged to check real-time traffic updates through UDOT’s official website and local news sources to stay informed of changing conditions.
As construction progresses, officials will monitor traffic patterns to make necessary adjustments to minimize inconvenience. Stay tuned for further updates as this situation develops.
