CENTERVILLE, Utah — The extended hot weather in Utah is taking a toll on highways and roads around the state. Drivers in Davis County experienced that firsthand on Thursday afternoon as three lanes of northbound I-15 started to buckle. As a result, those lanes were closed for repairs for roughly four hours Thursday, according to the Utah Highway Patrol.

As a result, getting into Davis County wasn’t easy as nearly every route was backed up with traffic.
THIS! This👇is what we have going on for NB travel on I-215 W, Legacy, Redwood & I-15. No easy way to get into Davis Co tonight from SLC.
