SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has announced that crews will begin maintenance work on several bridges throughout Summit County.

Construction on bridges over I-80 in the Parley’s Summit, Kimball Junction and Silver Creek Junction is slated to begin this month and last throughout the fall.

“This work will prolong the life of the bridges, enhance safety and provide a smoother ride for drivers,” said a press release from UDOT. 

According to a press release from UDOT, drivers should expect nighttime construction from Monday to Friday from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. which will bring extra noise, vibration, dust and lighting to these areas. Weekend work will also be conducted as needed.

Drivers should also prepare for minor traffic delays and nightly lane closures. One lane will remain open in each direction, and on and off-ramp detours are expected for the Kimball Junction and Silver Creek areas.
