Redwood Road Update 8/22/08
Friday, August 22, 2008
Segment 4 - Beginning just south of the intersection at Bangerter Highway and ending at the south end of Bluffdale proper.
Utility work continues this week as crews lay conduit in the shoulder of the road.
Crews continue to lay asphalt in Segment 4 between 15000 South and 15700 South. This type of work will generate extra truck traffic on and off of the roadway in this area. Flaggers will be present to assist in directing traffic. At times delays are unavoidable, however, crews strive to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public whenever possible.
Lane shifts continue at the southern end of Bluffdale this week in order to accommodate work for utility crossings in the area.
To accommodate the widening of SR-68, UDOT has purchased five properties. The houses and other structures on these properties will be razed. This work will begin on some of these properties in the next week in the Bluffdale area. This demolition is being handled by professionals certified in residential demolition and removal.
The asphalt work throughout the project is dependent on oil supplies, which are currently limited within the region.
Segment 3 - Beginning south of Bluffdale and ending just south of Camp Williams.
Asphalt work is expected to continue through the beginning of next week between 15700 South and Camp Williams.
Segment 2 – Beginning south of Camp Williams and ending just south of the intersection at SR-73 in Saratoga Springs.
Construction crews will be laying roadbase in this area this week. This work can involve having to cross residential driveways. The project is committed to maintaining access to these driveways, so any interruption in access will be brief in duration.
Segment 1 – Beginning south of the intersection at SR-73 and ending at 400 S in Saratoga Springs.
Clearing and excavation work will continue in the areas south of SR-73 this week.
General Project Information
Excavation activities continues in areas where appropriate in preparation for laying roadbase.
Three wildlife undercrossings are being installed as a safety measure on SR-68. Concrete work will begin this week at the undercrossing site south of Camp Williams and at the site located on the southern end of Bluffdale. Lanes are shifted and narrow in these areas.
Passing is prohibited in all areas of the work zone.
Recreational activities such as biking and jogging are discouraged in the construction area due to the narrow lanes.
Please note that due to weather, project conflicts, or equipment/supply issues, schedules are subject to change.
