SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation is alerting drivers about an important, long-term ramp closure at Foothill Dr. and I-215 East.
Beginning July 5, the Foothill Dr. ramp to I-215 will be closed through September as crews work to reconstruct the southbound Foothill Dr. bridges over Parleys Way and I-215. The closure will begin before the morning commute Wednesday.
"UDOT recommends that drivers rethink their trips: plan extra travel time and use alternate routes to get to the I-215 east belt from Foothill Drive," a UDOT representative wrote in a statement released Friday.
A map from UDOT shows the route to be closed (in orange ) and a suggested detour (in green).
The ramp from westbound I-80 to Foothill Dr. and both lanes on northbound Foothill Dr. are now open after crews rebuilt the northbound Foothill Dr. bridge over Parleys Way.
