I-80 | Parleys Canyon Upgrade
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
May 30th, 2025
Thank you for staying informed as we kick off our first email update for the I-80 canyon construction project. While work has been underway for the past two weeks, we’re committed to keeping you updated as progress continues. Our crews continue making progress on I-80, focusing on drainage improvements in the eastbound lanes. We appreciate your patience during this important work, which has required various lane closures to ensure the safety of our workers. To prepare for paving scheduled to begin on June 10, crews will be working around the clock this weekend on the eastbound lanes. Drivers should expect lane closures both day and night, with short delays likely during peak travel times. Please stay alert and follow barrels, cones, and directional signs guiding you through open lanes. Shoulder work during the day is also scheduled for next week in both directions, but no full lane closures are expected. See below for detailed construction impacts.

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.
| Know before you go. Check UDOT Traffic before hitting the road |
UDOT has established a project-dedicated public involvement team for the I-80 Mouth of Parleys Paving Project.
