Project Update: 6/30/10

The following are planned activities for the coming week. Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.

No work is scheduled for Saturday, July 3 - Monday, July 5 in observance of the Independence Day holiday.  Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!

When driving through the 2300 W./2100 N. intersection, please remember to obey the posted stop signs and be aware of other vehicles approaching.  Construction vehicles are often entering and exiting the roadway in this area.

Current Construction Activities

• Asphalt paving is scheduled to begin in the east side of the 2300 W./2100 N. intersection this Friday, July 2 and will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 6 & 7.  While most of this work will take place within the existing work zone, there will be an additional shoulder closure on the east side of 2300 W. while the paving is underway.  Once the east leg of the intersection is paved, traffic will be shifted onto the new pavement while the remaining portions of the intersection are excavated and built. 
• In preparation for placing new sidewalk in the area, the current pedestrian walkway at the 2300 W./2100 N. intersection has been removed. Work on this sidewalk will be complete in mid-August.  Due to limited area and to expedite construction activities, during this time there will be no designated pedestrian route through this area.  This work has been planned during summer vacation to keep both the workers and the public safe.
• Over the next two months, there will be concentrated construction operations at the intersection of 2100 N./2300 W.  Residents can expect brief, intermittent one-way flagging operations at the intersection during this time.

Ongoing Project Impacts

• Crews will continue preparing the west side of the project between the Jordan River and Redwood Road for the future roadway.  This work includes installing walls, placing fill material and early work on bridge and underpass structures.
• Construction activities east of the railroad tracks are now scheduled to resume in August. Please watch these updates for additional information.
• In the interest of safety, the small section of Jordan River Trail that falls within the project area has been closed. Access along the trail to the north and south will remain open, but there will be no connecting access through the project during construction.
• In order to construct the new railroad bridge and subsequently build the roadway beneath the bridge, UTA and UDOT have fully closed 2100 North between 2300 West and Pointe Meadows Drive. This closure will remain in place through Fall of 2011. Motorists should plan to use 1500 North as an alternate route (see map for details).

Project Maps

The Utah County portion of MVC is being built in phases to meet today's needs while planning for tomorrow. During the current phase, two parellel frontage roads are being built east and west along 2100 North from Redwood Road to I-15. The land in the middle will be preserved so that during a later phase inside lanes can be built to convert MVC into a fully-functioning freeway. Click on the maps for more information.
