In addition to a major I-80 project in Parleys Canyon reported earlier, The  Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has started work on a second project in Parleys Canyon. This effort is part of a coordinated, multi-year initiative to upgrade I-80.

New I-80 Work Zone Details

  • Location: Between East Canyon Road and Lambs Canyon (Exits 134–137)
  • Schedule: I-80 reduced to one lane nightly from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
  • Ongoing Closures: Drivers will continue to see the same one-lane restriction farther down the canyon between 2300 East and Exit 130 during identical hours.

These closures support critical repaving on a key route for Utah’s trucking industry, economy, mountain communities, and recreational traffic.

Long-Term I-80 Improvements

Over the next several years, crews will:

  • Repave 22 miles of I-80
  • Improve eight bridges
  • Install 11 miles of fiber optic cables
  • Upgrade nearly 50 miles of culverts

Plan ahead, follow posted detours, and use caution in all work zones. Project schedules may change due to weather or other factors.
