The I-80 on- and off- ramps at 1300 East will also close Friday night and UDOT plans to keep them closed through Wednesday morning, April 19.
1300 East over I80 closed Thursday night, and will remain closed through Friday morning, April 21.
During these closures, drivers will be detoured to 700 East, I-15, and I-215.
Drivers should plan ahead and expect heavy travel delays during the closures.
The roadwork is part of UDOT's plan to improve I-80 between 1300 East and 2300 East. The pavement is being replaced with new concrete and a new lane is being added to eastbound I-80 between 1300 East and 2300 East.
UDOT also replaced the bridge at 1700 East last April. It took less than four hours to slide the new bridge into place.
