UDOT outlines major 2025 construction projects across Salt Lake Valley
Summary
Utah Department of Transportation project manager Kendall Drainie summarized the agency's 2025 construction season, including interchange completions on Bangerter Highway, I-215 bridge-deck work, an I-80 auxiliary lane near Tooele, and a broad pavement-preservation program running June'October.
Kendall Drainie, a UDOT project manager, told the Wasatch Front TAC that the department will run a full slate of capacity, reconstruction and pavement-preservation projects across the Salt Lake Valley during the 2025 construction season.
Drainie highlighted four Bangerter Highway interchanges on the valley's south end that are expected to be complete this fall and said a seven-lane reconstruction of 90 South from Redwood Road to 700 West will finish after spring paving and work on the Jordan River structure. He said the agency will advertise a Tooele-area I-80 auxiliary-lane and SR-36 northbound widening starting this spring and a Greenfield extension of SR-111 from Harriman Parkway to South Jordan Parkway that Drainie said is expected to finish next year.
The presentation also previewed a major I-215 reconstruction between 2100 South and North Temple that will include work on 22 bridge decks, and which Drainie said is expected to run into late 2026 and part of 2027. Drainie warned that the scope of deck repairs and patches could create noticeable local traffic impacts while work is under way.
Drainie described a pavement-preservation program set to begin in June and continue through October. Most preservation work will be thin mill-and-fill operations (about 1.5 inches), and the map he showed includes sites across the valley, including West Jordan, Sandy, downtown, and corridors near I-15, I-215 and I-80. He said most paving will be performed at night to reduce city impacts.
The presentation listed additional traffic- and safety-focused work: signal improvements (including adding flashing-yellow treatments), lighting upgrades, sidewalk projects and localized ramp widening. Drainie singled out a northbound I-15 ramp widening at 21100 North scheduled for work over the summer and a paving strip through the Murray river-bottom area where the city and TAP funds will complete sidewalk segments.
Drainie closed by noting one-page project fact sheets are available and that attendees may search UDOT's public projects page (he provided a link during the presentation) to see projects in design or under construction and to get schedule and contact details.
Drainie took several brief clarifying questions from TAC members and said UDOT staff will accept follow-up questions offline.
