As Utah braces for several big snow days this week, drivers need to be prepared for traffic changes in Sandy aimed at alleviating the nightmare that builds along Little Cottonwood Road.
Sandy City said starting this week, anytime there is a closure of Little Cottonwood Canyon, traffic will be diverted from Little Cottonwood Road south onto Wasatch Boulevard. Wasatch Boulevard is a bigger road with a bike lane, giving vehicles lining up north a bigger shoulder to stage in while still allowing traffic to move through the area.
Sandy police suggested drivers skip Little Cottonwood Road altogether when wanting to get to the resorts on big snow days, and instead make their way up to Wasatch Boulevard by using 11400 South or 12600 South to get into the queue."If you are a skier and that is your plan, you are going to see reader boards we are going to have up directing you to line up on Wasatch," Moffitt said.
Moffit warned drivers to pay attention and to not block driveways or intersections as they get in line.
