Construction updates come and go, but for those frequenting Bangerter Highway at 9800 South, a significant development has unfolded. According to the Utah Department of Transportation, traffic is now flowing beneath a newly minted bridge at this very intersection. For the motorists weary of construction delays and detours, this signifies a tangible progression, marking an end to the disruptions that have long characterized their commutes.
The traffic shift to the fresh underpass is phased over several days. UDOT urges those behind the wheel to stay alert and adhere to the signage. While this phase is a milestone, it also ushers in another closure. The transition demands closure of the interchange access to Bangerter from 9800 South until autumn arrives to reveal the full capability of the new interchange. UDOT has asked drivers to remain patient, to maintain alertness, and follow present signs as the project edges nearer to completion.
As this change unfolds, it is clear that the wider community is awaiting the moment when the entire structure opens. For now, the focus remains on the need to facilitate the final construction efforts without further ado. The Utah Department of Transportation social media post encapsulates the sentiment, declaring, "It’s happening people! Traffic on Bangerter at 9800 South has moved under the brand-new bridge!"
