The City of Draper has announced a series of scheduled projects that will impact roads, water services, parking, trails, and local parks. According to a notice posted to the city's website, these works include infrastructure improvements and maintenance across several locations.
Bangerter Parkway between 13800 South and 150 East was scheduled for lane restrictions on August 20 and August 21 from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM. During this time, the road was to be reduced to one lane in each direction for road striping replacement to match new construction. Work was also scheduled for 13800 South between 300 East and Bangerter Parkway, which could have extended into the night of August 22.
A scheduled water shutdown was set for August 24 from approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, affecting residents in the Eagle Crest 3 subdivision along Winged Trace Ct. This shutdown for a transmission line was intended to allow Condie Construction to complete a water line loop for the Suncrest Drive PRV Replacement Project. The contractor was to place door hangers at residences at least 48 hours prior to the shutdown.
On Pioneer Road, Black Forest Paving was scheduled to begin excavating parking stalls adjacent to City Hall and further east starting August 24. These stalls were expected to face intermittent closures over a period of three to four weeks.
Improvements to 700 West, performed by Lyndon Jones Construction, were scheduled to begin August 24 and continue through October. This work includes roadway, storm drain, curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements. Residents were advised to expect lane restrictions, slower traffic, and temporary sidewalk detours. While the city aims to maintain home access, driveway access may be temporarily interrupted during work near properties.
Dayland Dog Park was scheduled for closure on August 27 and August 28 to allow parks crews to clean storm debris. Additionally, the Porter Rockwell Trail was scheduled to close between Sadler Trailhead and Osborne Trailhead from August 31 to September 11 due to new trail construction at 1300 East and the South Mountain Bridge.
The city requested that residents slow down, follow posted signs, and allow extra travel time through construction zones. Drivers and pedestrians were advised to stay away from active work areas and open excavations.
