As a reminder, for the public’s safety the Jordan River Parkway Trail is closed in the project area. There is heavy construction near the trail, including steep drop offs. Please refrain from entering the closed portion of the trail.   

Current Construction Activities

• Safety measures have been put in place at the 2100 N./ 2300 W. intersection to ensure the safety of children walking to school. 
• Concentrated construction activity has taken place at the 2100 N./ 2300 W. intersection to prepare the road for the start of school. In coming weeks, crews will be working more heavily on the area east of the intersection.  This shift will result in fewer trucks crossing the school pedestrian route.
• Posts and mast arms for the traffic signals at 2300 W. will be installed but this signal will not be active until Fall 2011 when the road is opened to east/west traffic.
• Crews will restripe 2300 W. this week. Watch for minor traffic shifts.
• Construction work continues on the bridges over the Jordan River. To keep the public safe, portions of the Jordan River Trail within the project area are closed. Please note that this area of the trail is closed for safety purposes. Please do not enter the closed portion of the trail.
• Work on the irrigation and landscaping near the pedestrian crossing at the 2100 N./2300 W. intersection will begin this week.

Ongoing Project Impacts 

• Excavation work is currently underway between the two frontage roads on the east side of 2100 N./2300 W. This work requires many loads of construction material to be brought in and out of the work zone. The excavation work will create dust in the general vicinity; the contractor will be sending water trucks through regularly to manage this.
• In the interest of safety, the small section of Jordan River Trail that falls within the project area has been closed. Access along the trail to the north and south will remain open, but there will be no connecting access through the project during construction.
• In order to construct the new railroad bridge and subsequently build the roadway beneath the bridge, UTA and UDOT have fully closed 2100 North between 2300 West and Pointe Meadows Drive. This closure will remain in place through Fall of 2011. Motorists should plan to use 1500 North as an alternate route.
