What's Happening Now

Building Demolitions

As early as Monday, May 10, crews will begin demolishing UDOT-owned buildings along Antelope Drive in Syracuse. Work will take place Monday-Friday during daytime hours. Possible noise, vibrations, and dust can be expected.

Flagging Operations

Gentile Street & Bluff Road: Flaggers are stationed on Gentile Street just west of Bluff Road to help construction trucks hauling dirt to exit and enter the road safely. Flagging will take place Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Syracuse Trail: Flaggers are also stationed at the Syracuse Trail just east of the Still Water subdivision to help construction trucks hauling dirt to cross the trail safely. Flagging will take place Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Legacy Trail Closure & Detour

The Legacy Parkway Trail between Glovers Lane and 1250 West is closed to accommodate the hauling of dirt and building of embankments adjacent to and through the existing trail.

Hauling Dirt

Crews have started hauling dirt onto the project site. Hauling will take place Monday – Friday during daytime hours 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.
Approximately 4 million cubic yards of dirt is anticipated to be hauled onto the project site. 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 for up to 550 days to allow for ground settlement, while other project activities will continue, like bridge construction, I-15 reconstruction, and utility relocations.
Residents are advised to use extra caution when traveling around construction traffic.

Legacy Pile Driving.

Pile driving in the Legacy Parkway median at approximately mile marker 10 is expected to continue intermittently for the next month. The left shoulder on both northbound and southbound Legacy Parkway will be closed to accommodate this activity until pile driving has concluded.

What is Pile Driving? Pile driving is a method of constructing bridge 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 Exploration

Crews will continue 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 pipelines will be cleaned and inspected by video Monday-Friday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. This work will require shoulder closures along Antelope Drive. Please obey all traffic control signs and flagger signals while traveling through these areas.
Additional utility exploration 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
Utility exploration 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 utility exploration is complete.

Looking Ahead

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.
