SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Multiple ramps are going to be closed at the I-80 and I-215 interchange near the Salt Lake City International Airport for up to 45 days, UDOT is warning drivers.
Beginning on Saturday, April 26, at 7 p.m., the ramps from southbound I-215 to westbound I-80 and eastbound I-80 to southbound I-215 will close, and those ramps will remain closed for up to 45 days as part of UDOT’s major I-215 West project.

UDOT is advising drivers heading to the airport to take the following alternative routes.
- If you’re approaching the airport from the north: Continue on southbound I-215 to SR-201, then use westbound SR-201 to Bangerter Highway and northbound Bangerter Highway to access the airport.
- If you’re driving eastbound on I-80, you will be detoured to southbound I-15, then onto westbound SR-201, where you can reconnect with southbound I-215.
Other ramps are already closed near the I-80 and I-215 interchange, including:
- Southbound I-215 to California Avenue on and off ramps, which will be closed until mid-May.
- Redwood Road to southbound I-215, which will be closed through early June.
- Redwood Road to northbound I-215, which will be closed until July 2027
These closures are part of UDOT’s I-215 West Improved project, which is replacing 18 bridge decks, repairing potholes on 12 other bridges, and repaving 25 miles of I-215.
There will be additional closures throughout the spring and summer, as every ramp within the I-80 and I-215 interchanges will close at different times for bridge work. Those closures will be staggered so not all ramps are closed at once, but UDOT said there will be some overlap in closures…
