Drivers should expect multiple closures on I-15 this weekend and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is encouraging motorists to plan ahead. The closures are to allow crews to place bridge beams and pour bridge decks. 

On the evenings of Friday, March 13 and Saturday, March 14, I-15 will be closed near 4400 South and the Ogden-Hinckley Airport. 

Friday, March 13, northbound I-15 will be closed from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on Saturday, March 14. All lanes will reopen by 9 a.m. During this time, northbound I-15 traffic will be detoured onto Riverdale Road and then to northbound Interstate 84, according to a UDOT release. 

On Saturday, March 14, southbound I-15 will be closed at 10:30 p.m. One lane in each direction will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, March 15, and all lanes will reopen by 11 a.m. Southbound traffic will exit I-15 at 4400 South (Exit 340), use Riverdale Road and then reenter southbound I-15 during this time.

These closures will allow crews to install the steel support beams for the new 4400 South bridge, the release said. 

In Farmington, I-15 will be reduced to one lane in each direction on Friday night between Glovers Lane and Park Lane. The lane closures will begin Friday, March 13 at 8 p.m. and last through Saturday, March 14 at 7 a.m.

Crews will be pouring concrete for a new pedestrian bridge deck as part of the Shepard Lane Improved project. The project includes a new interchange, a 10-foot-wide shared-use trail, new sidewalks and a pedestrian bridge. Work is expected to finish by the end of the year, according to UDOT.
