The Utah Department of Transportation is warning drivers that I-15 between 200 North in Kaysville and Park Lane in Farmington will be subject to closures in all directions on multiple nights between April 18-25.

UDOT Senior Communications Manager Mitch Shaw told the Standard-Examiner that the closures are part of the Shepard Lane interchange project.

“This new interchange will help alleviate congestion, connect communities and improve safety for all modes of transportation,” he said. “Aside from the interchange, UDOT is also building a new noise wall, a direct connection from 1500 West to the Shepard Lane interchange, a new road between Innovator Drive and 1500 West (and) new shared-use facilities at Shepard Lane and Park Lane. UDOT will also remove the existing Shepard Lane bridge at I-15. The interchange will improve walking and biking facilities over I-15 at Shepard Lane and along Park Lane.

“Multimodal improvements at Shepard Lane include the construction of a 10-foot shared-use trail on the north side of Shepard Lane and sidewalks on the south side. Park Lane multimodal improvements include a new multimodal path connecting FrontRunner facilities on the west side of I-15 to Park Lane east of U.S. 89.”

The closure schedule is as follows:

• Friday: 10 p.m. to 8 a.m..
• April 21-24: 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night.
• April 25: 10 p.m. to 10 a.m.

“All traffic will be detoured to US-89 and Main Street in Kaysville,” an update on the project’s UDOT page reads. “Drivers should plan for heavy travel delays during the closures and follow all traffic control devices in the area. Nearby residents may experience increased noise, dust, truck traffic, and vibration throughout this work.”
