While the timing is inconvenient, UDOT said it needs to make last-minute repairs that are a matter of public safety.
A resident alerted UDOT about some potholes through its Click ‘N Fix app.
Crews inspected the area and determined more extensive repairs were needed.
The roadwork on I-215 southbound near North Temple will reduce it to one lane from Friday, Dec. 19, at 10 p.m. through 5 p.m. Saturday.
Crews will also close the I-215 southbound off-ramps to exits 22A and 22B.
UDOT launched the reporting app in 2015 for drivers to submit service requests including potholes and traffic signal malfunctions.
