INTERCHANGE CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY
PROJECT UPDATE DECEMBER 2, 2021
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES
Bangerter Highway
Mainline Bangerter traffic has been shifted onto the new, grade-separated overpass and crews continue concrete paving and barrier installation. Sign foundation installation and drainage activities continue.
6200 South
Concrete paving and barrier installation continue at the on-and off-ramps and 6200 S.
Crews continue work on drainage and sign installations.
NOW OPEN East/West Access
Crews have opened east-west access on 6200 South crossing Bangerter Highway with one lane available in each direction.
New traffic restrictions will be in place through late December while crews continue construction activities. Drivers, residents and businesses can expect the following:
-
Left-hand turn movements on/off Bangerter Highway closed
-
Right-hand turn movements on/off Bangerter open
-
Northbound/southbound Bangerter Highway remains open
Alternate routes are encouraged.
Plan Ahead
Construction activities are ongoing day and night. Residents, businesses, and drivers should be aware of trucks entering and exiting the work zone, as well as noise, dust, vibration, and nighttime construction lighting.
Drivers are advised to note reduced speeds of 45 mph, changing traffic patterns, uneven road surface, and on-site construction activities and equipment while navigating in the area.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AT 6200 SOUTH
Signed detour in place through winter 2021
During construction, east-west crossings of 6200 South at Bangerter Highway is prohibited to pedestrians and cyclists. A signed detour is in place and pedestrians/cyclists are advised to use alternate routes in order to avoid construction activities.
This detour will be in place through winter 2021.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
As part of its efforts to keep traffic moving on Bangerter Highway now and into the future, UDOT will build freeway-style interchanges at 6200, 10400, and 12600 South. This is a continuation of UDOT’s multi-year effort to upgrade Bangerter Highway and the east-west arterial roads in order to meet the traffic demands of western Salt Lake County.
