On Thursday, the Utah Department of Transportation sent out a press release warning drivers that diversions and closures will be coming up on some large projects in the coming days.

“From Friday, Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. to Saturday, Oct. 3, at 8 a.m., northbound I-15 between North Station Lane and Park Lane in Farmington will be reduced to one lane for lane striping,” the release said. “Then, from Saturday, Oct. 3, at 10 p.m., to Sunday, Oct. 4, at 6 a.m., southbound I-15 between 200 North in Kaysville and Park Lane in Farmington (Exits 328 to 324) will be completely closed for lane striping and overhead sign installation work.

“This work is part of the Shepard Lane Improved project, which is building a new interchange at Shepard Lane in Farmington to reduce congestion and enhance safety. The project will also improve pedestrian and bicycle connections along Park Lane, and the ramps associated with I-15, US-89 and Legacy Parkway (State Route 67).”

The project’s website notes that the entire project Shepard Lane project is expected to be completed this winter.

Further north, and switching to I-84, the release also notes that there will be heavy work around Weber Canyon in the coming days.

“Also beginning Saturday, Oct. 3, at 10 p.m., drivers on eastbound I-84 near the mouth of Weber Canyon should plan for daily lane closures through Saturday, Oct. 17, to prepare for an upcoming traffic shift,” the release said. “The closures are part of a bridge project replacing two I-84 bridges originally constructed in the 1960s. Drivers should expect congestion and watch for slower-moving trucks on the steep grade.”
