Construction crews have begun utility and roadway work on Mountain View Corridor.  See below for specific construction activities on cross streets.  New activities are highlighted in bold text. 

12600 South: Beginning September, 27, 2010*, 12600 South will be restricted to one lane in each direction between Legacy Ranch Boulevard and Herriman City Main Street.  These restrictions will be in place for approximately six months while crews reconstruct the roadway to tie-in to Mountain View Corridor.

13400 South: Lane restrictions and flagging operations will be in place on 13400 South between Bangerter Highway and Monarch Meadows Parkway.  These restrictions will be in place for approximately two weeks* between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Construction on 13400 South and 12600 South will be phased to ensure travel lane restrictions on each street will not happen simultaneously. Please use caution in the area and obey posted speed limits.

Western Hills Drive: Beginning September 13, 2010*, Western Hills Drive where it intersects with Mountain View Corridor will be closed permanently. During construction, barrier will be placed on the east and west ends of the closure to prevent vehicle access.  Pedestrian access will also be restricted during construction.  Once construction is complete, pedestrian access to the trail and sidewalk that will run along Mountain View Corridor will be provided. 
 
*Dates subject to change due to weather or equipment related issues.
 
Crews will also be working along the corridor between 16000 South and 11800 South installing utilities, performing earthwork operations, and working on structures.

Safety is our top priority – Safety of the traveling public, our construction crews, and those living, playing, and working near the corridor is of utmost importance.  Please use caution when traveling through work zones and please stay out of the construction zone.  Children in particular are intrigued with large construction equipment and activity so please speak with your children about staying out of the construction zone and away from heavy equipment.

Work for the coming week: 

Pedestrian Trail 

• The trail on Redwood Road adjacent to the Saratoga Springs development is closed from the north end of the development to Lakeview Terrace.  The existing trail has been removed and a new trail will be built on the remaining HOA property a little to the east.
  • The decorative wall is scheduled to be completed by the end of next week.  Crews are beginning to work on final grading of the dirt on both sides of the wall and restoration of the trail and landscaping. 

Paving Operation from Grandview to Pelican Point 

• Due to cold nighttime temperatures, the final pavement layer (microsurfacing) has not been finished.  Crews are scheduled to finish the microsurfacing of the shoulders and entrances to developments this week. 
  • If nightly temperatures are warmer next week the crews will place the microsurfacing at night.  If night temperatures don’t rise then the work will have to be done in the day.
  • On Tuesday, September 7^th the crews are scheduled to begin night work on the through lanes.
  • The hours of operation will be from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am.
  • Work will begin at Pelican Point and move north. 

Roadway Reconstruction from Grandview to 400 South 

• From 400 South to a little north of Grandview Blvd. crews will continue working on the west side of the road.
  • Traffic has been fully switched to the east side of the road and Parkway Blvd. is open.
  • Crews have removed the west side of the road and are currently adding material to build up the road grade.
  • Microsurfacing and final striping will be placed when both sides of the road are finished.
• A concrete barrier has been placed in the reconstruction area for driver safety during construction.   

*Please be cautious when pulling out onto SR-68.  Traffic is moving much faster than it looks. 

Landscaping 

• Work is continuing on restoring the berm.
• The decorative wall is scheduled to be finished by the end of next week.
• Work is beginning on restoring the grade and the sprinkler system. 

Other items to be aware of: 

• Utility work is being done on the west side of the road relocating a gas line.
• The Saratoga Springs HOA will be closing their access roads onto Redwood Road at various times during construction.  This is something the HOA has opted to do on their own since they own the roads in the development.   
• A decorative wall will be placed next to the trail and its height will vary depending on the location.  The wall will begin at the north end of the development and will end approximately 500 feet north of Grandview Blvd.  The wall is part of the mitigation agreed to by the adjacent residents and HOA in lieu of a 6-foot noise wall being placed directly on the Right of Way line.  Additional landscaping will be added by the HOA behind the wall at a later date.

*Schedule is subject to change.  Please be alert and follow the direction of signs and the construction workers
