LAYTON, Utah — Road damage closed a major part of Interstate 15 in Layton on Tuesday as Utah roadways continue to suffer under the blaring sun.
Southbound lanes of the highway were closed at mile marker 331 near Hill Air Force Base at around 3:30 p.m.
A water main break under the highway caused the road to buckle, forcing the closure. After repairs, the highway was reopened just before 5:30 p.m.
Drivers were urged to use alternate routes to get around the closure, including:
- Exit I-15 at SR-193 and head east to US-89
- Exit I-15 at Hillfield Road and take Main heading south to Layton Parkway
