The northbound lanes between SR-92 and 14600 South are also expected to be in their permanent locations and full width. Expect ongoing lane configuration changes in both directions as more lanes are shifted to permanent locations through November.
Crews plan to set the overhead electronic message sign near the 11400 South southbound off-ramp as early as the morning of Thursday, October 22. There will be a rolling slowdown from 1-3 a.m. in that area.
The Point Project aims to improve mobility and reduce congestion along I-15 between northern Utah County and Draper, specifically from S.R. 92 to 12300 South.
Named for its location around the point of the mountain, The Point will use $252 million of state funds to build the following improvements:
- Expand I-15 to six lanes in each direction from S.R. 92 to 12300 South.
- Replace the aged pavement with new, durable concrete pavement.
- Reconstruct the 14600 South interchange in Bluffdale to improve safety and traffic flow.
- Enhance the existing traffic management system by installing additional ramp meters, fiber optics and other infrastructure to improve mobility.
- New signing and striping.
The Point is being constructed by UDOT in partnership with Utah County Constructors.
The work will last two construction seasons, with project completion scheduled for fall 2016. Construction phasing will include multiple major traffic shifts and lane splits.
