New lane, wildlife bridge and noise barrier will be built ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record The Utah Department of Transportation is scheduled to kick off the summer road construction season on Monday in Summit County, beginning with three major projects along Interstate 80. UDOT has allocated $17 million to add another westbound climbing lane between Jeremy Ranch and Parley’s Summit. An additional $5 million from the Utah Transportation Commission will be used for wildlife mitigation along the interstate, including the construction of the state’s first wildlife overpass and three more miles of wildlife fencing. As part of the work being done along that stretch of the interstate, UDOT also plans to begin construction on a controversial noise barrier along the length of the climbing lane. It will be the first of its kind in Summit County and follows a heated community debate during the planning phase of the barrier last year. John Montoya. UDOT’s project manager, also highlighted another project scheduled for this summer. Approximately seven miles of the interstate between Lambs Canyon and just west of Kimball Junction will be repaved over the summer in both directions. It is not linked to the other three projects. Montoya said the additional climbing lane is a safety measure. “There have been some rearend accidents because there is a differential speed between the trucks and the traveling traffic,” he said. Road crews are expected to begin preparing the roads on Monday beginning at 7 p.m. for the additional climbing lane. Interstate 80 will be reduced to one westbound lane overnight for nearly two weeks while crews prepare the striping, according to Montoya. “It will be back to three lanes every morning, and then we will do the same thing where we reduce lanes at night,” he said.
