The following are planned activities for the coming week. Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.
Due to re-prioritized construction phasing and in coordination with other area projects, the date of planned closures have changed. This will leave the roads open to traffic for several additional weeks. Construction crews are now on site and preparing several areas within the project for work. As part of these efforts, the planned closure of 2100 North at the railroad tracks has been scheduled for Monday, Feb. 15. Please see additional details below.
- Crews plan to fully close 2100 North between 2300 West and Pointe Meadows Drive beginning Monday, Feb. 15. This closure will continue through Fall of 2011. During this closure, motorists should use 1500 North as an alternate route (see attached map for details).
- In order to begin widening the future mainline roadway, 1200 West will be closed near the LDS Church to where it intersects with Thanksgiving Point Way (see attached map). This closure was delayed to accommodate improvements to the detour road. Those improvements - including widening and additional pavement - will be complete early next week and the detour will be put in on February 15.
- Also on, February 15, the Park & Ride parking will be restricted approximately 50 feet on the west side of Thanksgiving Point Way. This restriction will accommodate road widening in the area and will remain in place through project completion.
- A storm drain line is being installed along the edge of the future roadway. In order to reduce impact to the public, this line will be installed through the intersection of 2300 West during the school holiday on February 5 and into that weekend.
- In the interest of safety, the Jordan River Trail has been closed just north and south of the project. Access along the trail to the north and south will remain open, but there will be no connecting access through the project during construction.
- Site clearing and other earthwork will take place along the entire length of the project for the next several months. Clearing work this week has begun on the west side of the project near Redwood Road.
