Highland Drive will be reconstructed in 2023 as part of the Funding Our Future bond. This provides a unique opportunity to implement a roadway design that creates safe, inviting, sustainable, and comfortable travel choices, while providing the last needed connection to the Parley’s Trail in Salt Lake City.
As part of the 2018 voter-approved Funding Our Future street reconstruction bond, Salt Lake City will start to reconstruct 200 South beginning in 2022. The 200 South Reconstruction project design considers the variety of needs of a functional downtown, urban core and will rebuild 200 South to improve mobility and safety for all users.
As part of this project, the 9-Line Trail corridor will be an attractive, safe, and inclusive place for neighbors, businesses, and street users. A new trail will also introduce a walking and bicycling connection between east and west Salt Lake City, linking neighborhoods, business districts, and cultural destinations.
This project will reconstruct roadway pavement, sidewalks, and gutters; and provide safety improvements, traffic calming features, and bicycle lanes along 1100 East.

In 2021, work began on on the first alleyway in Salt Lake City that will be rejuvenated through the City’s Alleyway Pilot Program. Construction on the 850-foot alley in the Liberty Wells neighborhood will increase functionality for the adjoining residents as well as the communities the alley connects.
The Life on State Implementation Plan, signed in 2018, details clear, actionable strategies that promote economic development, improve transportation options, and address safety measures along the five mile stretch of State Street between North Temple and 3300 South.
Salt Lake City completed an environmental study to evaluate design options and select improvements for 1300 East between 2100 South and 3300 South. The study will help the team identify gaps in the existing transportation network; challenges faced by those traveling between Sugar House and Millcreek; and improvements for vehicle, pedestrian and bike mobility and safety. Construction is scheduled for 2024.
Virginia Street from South Temple to 11th Avenue will be reconstructed in 2024. Key components of the design concept include continuous sidewalks on the west side, uphill bike lanes, traffic calming elements, improved bus stops, and intersection safety improvements.
In 2024, Salt Lake City is reconstructing 2100 South from 700 East to 1300 East to replace the aging pavement and improve transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities.
The West Temple reconstruction project will rehabilitate the aged pavement from North Temple to 200 South and provide additional features to make the road safer for those driving, walking, and biking from North Temple to 400 South.
In 2024, 300 North will be reconstructed from 300 West to 1000 West. Pavement, sidewalk, ADA ramps, bike lanes, and curb and gutter will be replaced to create a safe, comfortable environment for everyone using the road.
Each year, the Salt Lake City Streets Division strives to resurface 150 lane miles of Salt Lake City roadway. These surface treatments, which are completed over just a few days, are a cost effective way to prolong the lifespan of the street network.
Salt Lake City is reconstructing 300 West from 900 South to 2100 South to replace aging pavement, add missing sections of sidewalk, add new bike lanes, and crosswalks. The City is also planning ahead and adding improvements that support economic development and future growth.
