The Utah Department of Transportation began nightly lane closures at Exit 282 on Wednesday, Oct. 7, according to a UDOT press release. Northbound I-15 drivers in Lehi will experience a lane shift at the 2100 North interchange that is expected to last through May 2027.
The nightly work involves lane reductions that begin at 7 p.m., with northbound travel narrowing to a single lane by midnight. Closures continue each night except for Friday, Oct. 10, when UDOT is keeping all lanes open for drivers traveling to Provo for Brigham Young University's homecoming football game.
Following the Friday opening, lanes will reopen by 7 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 11, and by 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12. The work schedule is weather-dependent and subject to change, according to UDOT.
The lane shift is part of the $621 million 2100 North freeway connection, a 2.8-mile road designed to link the Mountain View Corridor directly to I-15 along State Route 194 in Lehi. Crews are using the nightly work window to relocate utilities, build a stabilizing soil wall, and pour foundations for the rebuilt interchange.
When completed, the project is expected to include 14 new bridges, two pedestrian bridges, and nearly two miles of shared-use paths. UDOT estimates the connection will save east-west commuters approximately 12 minutes each way during peak hours and is expected to be finished in late 2028.
The 2100 North project is part of a nearly $1.4 billion state investment in transportation for northwest Utah County. UDOT stated the new link is intended to ease congestion on Redwood Road (State Route 68), which the agency identifies as one of the most congested corridors in the county.
Andrew Jordan, the UDOT project director, stated in March that linking the Mountain View Corridor directly to I-15 will make regional travel easier for residents throughout northwest Utah County.
