I-80 | Parleys Canyon Upgrade
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
July 10, 2025

We’re cruising right along with the I-80 Parleys Canyon Paving Project and want to keep you in the loop! Over the past few weeks—excluding the holiday—our crews have been hard at work repaving the main travel lanes which will continue through July 16. Up next: lane striping and rumble strip installation—which means two-lane closures will stick around a bit longer. We've also noticed peak traffic tends to hit between 8:30 and 10:30pm, so if you're able to travel outside those hours, it may help you avoid delays.

Looking ahead, we’re on track to wrap up by end of July. And good news—UDOT’s other I-80 project near Kimball Junction is on pause until July 16 to help ease congestion.

Huge thanks to our crews and to you for your patience as we smooth the way forward!

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will resurface I-80, from Lower Parleys Canyon to SR-65 (exit 134). The project objectives are aimed at preserving the life of the road. This paving process will not only help increase the longevity of the road but also address roadway structural integrity and enhance motorist safety by providing a smoother, more durable road surface. The on/off ramps along the route will also be resurfaced. Additional work includes variable drainage enhancements, barrier upgrades, and updated roadside signage and road surface striping.
