According to a news release from UDOT, a new ramp system is opening on I-15 northbound in Sandy, and drivers will need to use the new ramp system as soon as Monday morning to access Interstate 215 and 7200 South.
“We will open a new ramp system, or collector-distributor system, adjacent to northbound I-15 from 9400 South to I-215 as early as Monday, Feb. 8, at 5 a.m. Drivers on northbound I-15 will enter the new ramp system prior to 9000 South and use it to exit at 7200 South and I-215,” the news release said.
Drivers should plan ahead for heavy travel delays of up to two hours on Sunday, Feb. 7, as crews prepare to switch traffic to the new ramp system, UDOT said.
