More traffic headaches coming to 2100 South reconstruction project in Sugar House

SALT LAKE CITY — A project to overhaul a major Sugar House road and the utilities underneath it is moving along, but not before another major traffic shift.

Traffic is currently reduced to one lane in each direction in the area, but all eastbound 2100 South traffic will be closed from 900 East to 1100 East beginning on Monday.

Crews will work to replace the 110-year-old water and sewer lines that run underneath the road while also repairing the roadway during the eastbound closure, according to Salt Lake City. The closure is expected to last through mid-August.

The city recommends drivers planning to travel east on 2100 South use Sugarmont Drive (2225 South) between 900 East and Highland Drive instead, where they can use Highland Drive to get back to 2100 South. This is the path that Utah Transit Authority’s Route 21 bus will take.

Drivers can also use 1700 South as a detour. Salt Lake City says it will temporarily restore two-way access on 1100 East between 1700 South and 2100 South during the eastbound closure. Crews are also working to complete road repairs along 1100 East for a separate project.

In both cases, drivers can use side streets between 900 East and 1100 East to reach homes and businesses.
