SR-201 at 3200 West : traffic will continue to be directed up and down exit ramps as crews
replace the bridge deck. Expect delays due to change in traffic configuration.

Bangerter Highway : Work will pause from Friday at noon through the holiday weekend but
current lane restrictions will remain in place to protect the work zones for the new interchanges at 9800 South, 13400 South, 2700 West and 4700 South.
