SALT LAKE CITY — Prepare for delays along a Bangerter Highway intersection this weekend.

13400 South at Bangerter Highway will fully close for a year beginning Friday, Oct 11, as early as 9 p.m. according to UDOT.  

Utah Department of Transportation spokesperson John Gleason says these changes, once complete, will significantly help travel times in the area. 

“Bangerter is one of our most heavily traveled highways out there, so we’re going to make it more like a freeway where you don’t have to stop at the traffic lights, you can just simply use it as you would a freeway and get off on the freeway interchanges,” he said. “Anytime you remove a stoplight you’re improving safety and just allowing people to get to where they’re going with a little more ease and convenience.”

Gleason says the best detour to avoid the construction is to use 12600 South. 

“You’re still going to be able to use Bangerter to get through of course, but just if you’re heading straight through on 13400 you may have to make some detour plans.” 

The intersection is expected to reopen in the fall of 2025.
