SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) announced road closures on I-15 in Davis County and lane closures on northbound SR-36 and eastbound I-80 in Tooele County. Here’s what you need to know to plan your commutes and travel.
I-15 in Davis County is going to close for two Saturdays overnight in order to demolish the Shepard Lane bridge. Drivers will be detoured to U.S. Route 89 and Main Street in Kaysville during the closures.
SR-36 in Tooele will see weekday lane closures beginning on June 16 and continuing through the summer of 2026. There will be nighttime work as needed, and I-80 lane widths will be reduced during construction.

This weekend, on Saturday, June 14, southbound I-15 between 200 North and Park Lane will close between 9:30 p.m. and 11 a.m. on June 15.
Next weekend, on Saturday, June 21, northbound 1-15 between 200 North and Park Lane will close between 9:30 p.m. and 11 a.m. on June 22.

UDOT said that these closures are to create a safe work zone for crews to demolish the Shepard Lane Bridge, which closed permanently in May.
These closures are part of a project to build a new interchange at Shepard Lane in Farmington “to reduce congestion and enhance safety in the area,” according to UDOT. The interchange will create another connection to local roads by crossing over the Union Pacific Railroad and UTA tracks, and it will improve pedestrian and bike connectivity. The new interchange is expected to open in late 2026.
Tooele County improvements on SR-36 and EB 1-80
Beginning June 16, lanes on NB SR-36 will close on weekdays, continuing through the summer of 2026, and I-80 lane widths will be reduced during construction.

The project is intended to improve mobility and reduce congestion on SR-36 in Tooele. It will widen SR-36 to three lanes between I-80 and Stansbury Park in addition to adding an auxiliary lane on EB I-80. The auxiliary lane will be added between the SR-36 on-ramp and the State Route 201 exit.
As part of the project, UDOT has been working to widen southbound SR-36 between Sunset Road and Stansbury Parkway, which is expected to be finished this summer.
Other Salt Lake County traffic impacts
UDOT also shared some traffic impacts in Salt Lake County on Interstate 80.
Eastbound lanes and ramps on I-80 in Parley’s Canyon will be closed at exits 132-134 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. for paving through June 14. Lambs Canyon (exit 137) and heading westbound is the alternate route. Detours are posted.
I-80 Eastbound between 5600 W and Wright Brothers Drive in Salt Lake City will be reduced to one lane each night this week to repair bridge beams. Lane closures last from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. until June 16.
