UDOT announced that Orem's Center Street Interchange will be closed until September as of tonight. This closure is to allow construction workers to repave the street and construct new ramps, according to a news release.
UDOT Spokesperson Leigh Dethman said, “Closing these interchanges for several weeks at a time has been inconvenient for drivers, but in the end this will reduce delays and help us to meet our aggressive timeline.”
During this construction, all Center Street on and off ramps will be closed, as well as Center Street underneath the I15. The remodeled design will help increase traffic efficiency, improve flow of traffic and improve safety for drivers.
To avoid delays, UDOT encourages drivers to leave homes earlier and keep updated on the construction by following weekly email updates, and UDOT's Facebook and Twitter.
