URGENT UPDATE: Travelers heading to Salt Lake City International Airport should prepare for significant disruptions this weekend due to lane and ramp closures on I-215. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has announced that these closures will take place on October 21-22, 2023, as crews conduct essential pavement panel replacement.
The closures are expected to impact traffic flow in the area, particularly during peak travel times. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and consider alternative routes to avoid delays. The work is scheduled to begin early Saturday morning and will continue through late Sunday evening, potentially affecting thousands of travelers.
Why This Matters: With the weekend often being a busy time for air travel, these closures could lead to longer wait times and increased congestion around the airport. UDOT officials emphasize the need for drivers to remain informed and vigilant while navigating the affected areas.
Travelers can expect the following closures:
– Lane reductions on I-215 eastbound and westbound
– Ramp closures leading to the airport
UDOT is committed to minimizing disruption and ensuring that the work is completed as quickly as possible. They urge all drivers to stay updated on the latest developments and follow posted detours for safety.
