Construction is set to begin this month on a vital business corridor in Salt Lake City.
SALT LAKE CITY — A busy corridor in Salt Lake City's Sugar House neighborhood is about to receive a much-needed makeover, but its transformation is likely going to add more traffic headaches to the city.
Traffic on Highland Drive will be reduced to one southbound lane from Wilmington Avenue to 2700 South, while northbound traffic will be diverted to either 900 East or 1300 East between the two roads, once construction begins. This traffic configuration is expected to stay in place through the remainder of 2023, and will eventually expand to 2100 South once construction begins on that section.
Stoddard added that crews will also try to limit the impact the project has on sidewalks in the area. That said, there may be some pedestrian detours in the area once the roadway is broken up."That's something that we're going to try and minimize as much as we can," he said.that residents passed in 2018. A second phase — 1100 East from 2100 South to Logan Avenue — is slated to begin in 2024.
"We've been working on this project design over the last two years. ... We're excited that we're finally at a point where we're going to build this," Jacobs said. The biggest impact might be on those who typically use Highland Drive in the construction area because of the closures. Jacobs explained this pattern was decided early in the process so that drivers would be used to it in the coming months.
