Construction will begin at two intersections on 2100 South in Sugar House at 1300 East and Highland Drive in September.

Through October, the Highland Drive/2100 South intersection will be reduced to one lane in all directions with limited left turns while crews replace deep underground utilities and reconstruct the intersection as part of the Highland Drive/1100 East project.

Construction to replace a 100-year-old sewer line between 1400 East and Highland Drive will also begin with impacts to the 1300 East/2100 South intersection. Sewer replacement will continue west towards Highland Drive and extend east of 1400 East to Yuma Street later this year through 2024.

“Sugar House streets and utilities are aged and in need of replacement,” said SLC Transportation Project Manager Lynn Jacobs. “We’re improving the area by adding safe and comfortable facilities for all kinds of travel choices on these major routes. We’re coinciding the impacts from these two projects to reduce the overall time that traffic is impacted on 2100 South.”
