UDOT implements temporary U‑turn pattern on 5600 South during I‑15 interchange work
Summary
The Utah Department of Transportation says left turns will be restricted on 5600 South and I‑15 ramps near Roy and Riverdale while crews use a temporary three‑month U‑turn traffic pattern during construction that began in June 2023 and is expected to continue through 2026.
The Utah Department of Transportation announced that drivers in Roy and Riverdale, Weber County, should expect a temporary three‑month traffic pattern with restricted left turns on 5600 South between Wardley Road and 2050 West while crews build the Interstate 15 interchange. Construction began in June 2023 and is expected to continue through 2026.
UDOT said the temporary pattern directs motorists to use a U‑turn signal at 1900 West to complete movements that would normally require left turns. Southbound drivers are instructed to travel through the 1900 West intersection to the east U‑turn signal, complete the U‑turn, then make a right to reach southbound destinations; northbound drivers should use the west U‑turn signal and then make a right to continue north.
Exit 338 on I‑15 northbound and southbound will also have left‑turn restrictions during the work. UDOT advised that motorists exiting I‑15 may use the temporary U‑turn signal or continue straight where possible to reach their destinations, and that the ramps to I‑15 northbound and southbound will follow the same U‑turn guidance for re‑entering I‑15.
UDOT said the completed project will reduce congestion and improve safety and mobility on I‑15, State Road 108 (3500 West), and 5600 South (State Road 97) in Roy and Riverdale. The agency directed drivers to u.traffic.utah.gov or the project team for the latest traffic‑pattern maps and restrictions during construction.
Traffic directions and the three‑month U‑turn pattern were described during the announcement; no formal votes or policy actions were recorded in the transcript.
