SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) said that westbound I-80 will be reduced to two lanes this week between the U.S. 40-Silver Creek interchange and Kimball Junction.

The construction will take place from Monday at 8 am to Thursday at 8 pm.

Crews are doing maintenance work on the bridges over the Highland Drive-Bitner Road connection.

UDOT said they adjusted the schedule for the project based on delays they saw working on the same construction in early July.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and expect extra travel time, especially during rush hour.
