The Utah Department of Transportation recommends drivers plan ahead for travel delays due to heavy traffic for the Thanksgiving holiday. Across the state, most UDOT projects will suspend construction and open all lanes to traffic to help reduce delays during the holiday weekend (Wednesday through Sunday) but delays are still anticipated, especially on I-15 this Wednesday, November 23rd, and Sunday, November 27th. In some work zones, these restrictions will continue through the weekend where needed to ensure safety or accommodate ongoing construction. Drivers should plan for construction conditions including traffic restrictions, reduced speeds, uneven pavement, and narrow or shifting lanes in major construction zones. Drivers should also plan ahead for traffic on local streets due to Black Friday shopping. Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. For the latest information on traffic restrictions during construction, visit the UDOT Traffic website or download the UDOT Traffic app.
