Soon, the commute will get longer for many people along Bangerter Highway. Another intersection will be under construction a month from now.
Starting May 1, 10400 South will not allow east-west traffic at Bangerter Highway, while an overpass is constructed to keep highway traffic moving. That closure will last until November.
Add that to projects along Bangerter at 6200 South and 12600 South, which also aim to bypass street-level traffic lights with freeway-style interchanges.
Drivers are bracing for impact.
“You add two big highways, getting shut down east and west,” said Dale VanOtten of Riverton. “That’s just going to be a nightmare for anybody on this end of the valley having to get home during rush hour times.”
Lisa Miller, Utah Department of Transportation’s traveler information manager, said the timing is based on construction season and when lawmakers approve the funding.
“We try not to have any consecutive interchanges under construction all at once,” she said, “which is why we’ve already done 114th South and now we’re just moving from that area.”
UDOT has more on the timeline, temporary traffic plans and detours on its website.
We really feel it’s going to increase the efficiency of Bangerter Highway for years to come,” Miller said.
Another 12 interchanges along Bangerter Highway could be upgraded later, although they’re currently unfunded, according to UDOT.
