I-80 | Parleys Canyon Upgrade
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
June 20, 2025

Thank you for your continued patience as crews began paving operations on the on- and off-ramps of I-80 last week. This weekend, crews will complete ramp paving, which will require intermittent ramp closures and a single lane closure in the area. Looking ahead to next week, we are reaching an exciting milestone: paving work on the main travel lanes will begin. To ensure the safety of our crews and deliver a smoother, upgraded road for you, two lanes will be closed at night, beginning as early as 7 p.m. Motorists should anticipate travel delays, particularly during peak travel hours.

Please refer to the Construction Activities and Traffic Impacts section below for more details. We truly appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve I-80 through Lower Parleys Canyon.

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.
