Drivers heading to the Salt Lake City airport should plan ahead for temporary ramp closures.
State of play: Ramps from I-215 South to I-80 West and from I-80 East to I-215 South are closed through mid-June as part of a major construction project, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
- The 45-day closures began Sunday evening.
Zoom in: If you're traveling to the airport from the north, take I-215 South to SR-201, then head west on SR-201 to northbound Bangerter Highway.
- If you're traveling on I-80 East, you'll be detoured to I-15 South and SR-201 West, where you can reconnect to I-215 South.
Ramp closures already in place include:
- Ramps from I-215 South to California Avenue, closed until mid-May.
- Redwood Road to I-215 South, closed through early June.
- Redwood Road to I-215 North, closed until July 2027.
The big picture: The I-215 West construction project will replace 18 bridge decks, repair potholes and repave 25 miles of freeway.
My thought bubble: OR! ... take the FrontRunner, hop off at North Temple Station and switch to the Trax's Green Line.
- It'll take you straight to the airport and you won't have to worry about parking.
