The Utah Department of Transportation is restriping Redwood Road between 9000 South in West Jordan and 12600 South in Riverton to create more travel lanes in the area.
The road project began Monday and is expected to create delays from lane closures and shifting lanes, FOX 13 reports. UDOT also warns nearby residents of noise and temporary changes to residential and business access.
The project will convert existing road shoulders into travel lanes, creating three lanes in each direction. But the change will eliminate street parking along that stretch of Redwood Road.
UDOT stated many mailboxes in that area will be relocated, and affected residents should consult the Post Office about their new mailbox location. Residents also should place garbage and recycling cans on the curb for collection, rather than the shoulder.
Bike lanes will also be changed.
“In coordination with the bike community and local cities, designated bike lanes along Redwood Road will be relocated to 1300 West and 2700 West,” UDOT stated in a news release.
UTA bus stops along the route will continue operating during construction.
The release doesn’t state how long the roadwork will take.
