The project will extend the near-term service life of the 1.6-mile-long viaduct between Interstate 15 and Eastern Avenue, portions of which were built almost 60 years ago. (A viaduct is a long bridge-like structure carrying an elevated roadway not to be confused with an aqueduct that conveys water).
The project will also repair and overlay the entire 1.2 million square foot viaduct deck surface between the Union Pacific Railroad and 21st Street – the equivalent of 25 football fields – as well as reconstruct the Casino Center Boulevard off-ramp hinge while seismically retrofitting selected viaduct columns. Also, a new southbound auxiliary lane will be added between Interstate 15 and Eastern Avenue by lane restriping, and the Eastern Avenue southbound offramp will be widened to two lanes.
Work is expected to be finished in late 2022.
