What's Happening Now

Hauling Fill Material Begins Monday, April 19th

Beginning Monday, April 19th, crews will start hauling fill (dirt) material onto the project site. Hauling will take place during daytime hours Monday-Friday and continue through the summer. Residents should expect heavy and persistent construction truck traffic along various local city roads.
Current designated haul routes include Park Lane, Glovers Lane, 1525 West, 650 West, 200 North, Gentile Street, 2700 South, Antelope Drive, and S.R.-193. Additional haul routes may be added.
In total, approximately 4 million cubic yards of fill is anticipated to be hauled onto the project site over the next two years. The project team will use this material to create the base of the highway, embankments, and berms. In Farmington, this material will be left to settle up to 550 days, while other project activities will continue, like bridge construction, I-15 reconstruction, and utility relocations.
Residents are advised to use extra caution when traveling with and around construction traffic.

Legacy Pile Driving

Pile driving in the Legacy Highway median at approximately mile marker 10 is expected to continue intermittently for the next month. The left shoulder on both northbound and southbound Legacy Highway will be closed to accommodate this activity until pile driving has concluded.
What is Pile Driving? Pile driving is a method of constructing structure foundations. To support the future West Davis ramps and bridges, steel and concrete beams or “piles”, are driven into the soil until reaching a hard layer of earth beneath the ramp/bridge foundation.`

Utility Potholing

Crews will continue “potholing” (drilling small holes to verify the location and condition of underground utilities like water and sewer pipes, power and gas lines, and TV/phone cables) and performing video inspection of existing pipes at various locations throughout the project area . Work will take place during daytime hours Monday – Friday through the end of May.
Along Antelope Drive (1700 South) in Syracuse, existing storm drain and irrigation pipe lines will be cleaned and inspected by video from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday – Friday. This work will require shoulder closures along Antelope Drive. Please obey all traffic control signs and flagger signals while traveling through these areas.
Additional potholing and pipe inspection work will take place during daytime hours Monday – Friday in various areas along the project corridor. These areas include:
- Farmington – Glovers Lane, Shirley Rae, 800 West and 650 West
- Kaysville – Angel Street and 200 North
- Layton – Weaver Street and 3200 West
- Syracuse – 1000 West and Gentile Street
Potholing and pipe inspection work will continue during nighttime hours along I-15 and Legacy Highway between Parrish Lane and the Glovers Lane overpass off the pavement in the shoulders. No traffic impacts are anticipated. This work should begin after the Antelope Drive potholing work is complete.

Hauling fill will continue throughout the project area through the next several months. Please use extra caution when traveling near or with construction traffic.
Crews will begin fence installations at various locations along the project site starting in late April.
UDOT will continue with design work, utility coordination, debris clearing, and property acquisition and preparation. The West Davis project team will also continue to coordinate closely with residents, businesses, city leadership, and other key stakeholders.

Schedule is subject to change due to equipment, material, utility and/or weather delays.
