The ongoing Interstate 215 construction project will force a weeks-long closure of multiple exits and off-ramps, leaving drivers to find alternate routes to places such as Salt Lake City International Airport.
Starting Tuesday at 8 p.m., the Utah Department of Transportation will close three northbound I-215 off-ramps, including the main route to the airport from the south, and expects to reopen them just ahead of the Labor Day holiday.
The following ramps will be closed for approximately 5 weeks:
- Northbound I-215 to westbound I-80, a primary route to the airport (Closed for approximately 35 days)
- Northbound I-215 to eastbound I-80 (Closed for approximately 35 days)
- Northbound I-215 to Redwood Road (Closed through October 2)
