Riverton mayor says 13400 South and 2700 West at Bangerter will open Monday

Riverton Mayor Trent Staggs announced that the intersection at 13400 South and Bangerter and the 2700 West overpass at Bangerter will open to traffic on Monday. Staggs said the changes will restore east–west traffic at 13400 South and make the 2700 West overpass “free flowing.”

Staggs said the city worked with the Utah Department of Transportation and other partners to speed completion. “This was not going to be prioritized and done as quickly as it has been, and so it's been great to be able to work, bring this up the list of projects that UDOT is doing, working cooperatively with other cities,” he said.

He said the 2700 West structure involved additional expense and that the city obtained help from the state legislature and local landowners so that the cost would not fall on Riverton City residents. “That cost additional money, but we were able to get that from the legislature and also from, some of our partners, landowners here to help with that cost and not put that expense on Riverton City residents,” Staggs said.

City officials did not announce a specific opening time beyond "Monday" in the remarks on the record. Staggs delivered the remarks in a brief recorded statement; no council vote or formal agenda action was recorded in the provided transcript segment.

The announcement focuses on traffic flow improvements at two locations along Bangerter. The city did not provide further details in the transcript about post-opening traffic controls, longer-term construction work, or any remaining closures.

Riverton officials and UDOT will likely post updated traffic advisories; no such advisory text or schedule was included in the transcript excerpt provided.
