7000 South Utilities Construction Update Progress continues on the 7000 South Utilities Project. Major work activities include storm drain and sewer line installation at 1300 West. This intersection is currently under heavy construction, with traffic pushed to the outside travel lanes and restricted left turns. Saturday and occasional night work is also occurring at this location. In addition, water line work is taking place between 2200 West and Redwood Road. Crews have been working to install a new water main line and lateral lines to homes in this area. Work at the South Jordan Canal and Salt Lake and Utah Canal is now substantially complete, just in time for irrigation water to be turned on. Minor work will continue at these locations for the next few weeks. One lane in each direction for east-west travel will be maintained, and potholes will be maintained. Over the next five months of the project, local residents and commuters can continue to expect continued lane reductions, intermittent one-way flagging operations, left-turn restrictions and occasional night work. Work includes removing and replacing pipelines, removing and replacing old utility services, as well as milling and overlaying a new roadway surface. Work is expected to take place Monday-Saturday 7 a.m. – 7 p.m. with occasional night work. Major traffic delays can be expected. Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to use alternate routes whenever possible. For your safety and the safety of construction crews, please obey all construction signage and flagging operators. We know the construction impacts on this projects have been extensive, but we appreciate your continued patience as work to improve utility service, roadway drainage and create a smoother safer commute.
