Project Description:
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) will be performing maintenance and repairs on TRAX Red, Blue, and Green Lines at the rail interchange at Central Pointe Station in Salt Lake City from August 10 to August 15, 2024. There will also be construction on the rail crossing at the intersection of 300 West and Andy Avenue. 300 West is expected to be fully closed to traffic August 10 to August 13.
During this time, a bus bridge will be in place from Meadowbrook to Ballpark stations for the Blue and Red Lines and River Trail to Ballpark stations for the Green Line, from August 10 to August 15. The bus bridge will make stops at Meadowbrook, Millcreek, Central Pointe, Ballpark, and River Trail stations. Riders should expect significant delays while traveling on bus bridges from Meadowbrook to Ballpark and from River Trail to Ballpark. Plan ahead to avoid significant delays. Consider alternate transportation options during construction.
Project Purpose and Benefit:
The project's purpose is to maintain the Red, Blue, and Green Lines to continue reliable operations in the South Salt Lake area. Regular maintenance will minimize future construction impacts and improve service quality.
What to Expect:
Riders: Bus bridge from Meadowbrook to Ballpark and River Trail to Ballpark stations, with stops at Millcreek and Central Pointe stations; riders should expect extensive delays.
Riders are advised to use alternate options during construction to avoid delays.
Residents: 24/7 construction noise from heavy equipment and vehicles; nighttime construction noise and lighting; noise, dust, vibrations
Drivers: Road closure August 10–13 for rail crossing repair at 300 West and Andy Avenue.
