Drivers can expect new eastbound traffic pattern for I-84 Salt Lake Interchange project east of Burley
SHOSHONE - Traffic will shift within the week for motorists heading eastbound on Interstate 84 toward Salt Lake as crews open up a newly constructed portion of roadway. This is part of the Salt Lake Interchange replacement project, underway since May of this year.
“This new configuration is similar to what motorists were accustomed to before work on this project began,” said ITD Project Manager Kandace Stewart. “The design is more intuitive and allows eastbound drivers to make a smooth right transition through the interchange when traveling toward Salt Lake."
Drivers should still anticipate reduced speeds through the work zone and pay attention to signage which is in place to safely direct motorists through the area. Restrictions for 12-foot lane widths will also continue.
Here is a map of the new configuration.
This new traffic pattern is anticipated to remain in effect throughout the winter season. Construction on this project is scheduled to finish by late 2020.
Wadsworth Brothers Construction, of Draper, Utah is the prime contractor on this $27.6 million project.
