Construction Update
September 7, 2023
 

Construction Activities September 7 - September 13

• Utility relocation work by Rocky Mountain Power, Dominion Energy, Verizon, Comcast, Century Link, and other utility companies is continuing between 700 West and Redwood Road. To facilitate utility relocation work, shoulders and bicycle lanes will be closed. Pedestrians and bicyclists are encouraged to follow the posted detour route (see map below). 
• Work on a new detention basin has started on property in front of the Rocky Mountain Power substation. This detention basin will serve as a temporary home for water during large storm events before slowly releasing it into the Jordan River. 
• The new storm drain lines are being installed along 9000 South west from the River Oaks Driving Range.
• Structure work continues at the Jordan River along with storm drain improvements on the south side of 9000 South near the Jordan River. 
• Crews are continuing to work on the new privacy walls between 1000 West and 1200 West on the south side of the street. 
   

Construction Activities 700 West to State Street

Beginning as early as Saturday, September 16, crews will begin overnight work from 8:00 PM - 6:00 AM. Crews will remove the top layer of asphalt, make soft spot repairs to damaged ground under the asphalt, and install new asphalt along the corridor. This work will result in a smoother driving surface and increase the life of the roadway.

Drivers should plan extra time driving through the corridor as there will be lane restrictions/closures along with turning movement restrictions while crews work through the intersections. Area residents and businesses can expect an increase in noise, vibration, dust, and other construction related activities. 

Fans leaving the Real Salt Lake games on Wednesday, September 20 and Saturday, September 23 can expect minor delays leaving Rio Tinto Stadium west on 9000 South from State Street to 700 West. 

Nearby Construction Activities - 1300 West - West Jordan City Project

Slow Down - Give 'em a Brake! 

As you can see in the picture below, our workers are only inches away from active traffic. Please help you and our workers make it home to our families every night! Lanes on 9000 South have been narrowed and are shifting. Please reduce your speed to 35 MPH in our work zone!
