Restoration of I-215 / Union Park Ave. and Highland Dr. Flyover Bridges
UPDATE: The Highland Drive to westbound I-215 flyover bridge in Cottonwood Heights and Murray will reopen to traffic by 7:00pm on Wednesday, August 17th.
Full closure of the flyover bridge was expected to last through August 21st and was necessary to restore the bridge to its original design life.
The general sequence of work for the closure included:
- Closing the Highland Drive to westbound I-215 flyover bridge to traffic;
- Placing a temporary strongback system at the bridge joints;
- Removing and replacing existing pins and hangers at each bridge joint;
- Testing each pin and hanger, and
- Preparing the bridge to reopen for traffic.
