Street Reconstruction Projects
Overview
Each year, Salt Lake City reconstructs numerous major and local streets, made possible by the 2018 voter-approved Funding Our Future street reconstruction bond. Major streets are high-capacity urban streets that deliver traffic at the highest level of service possible. These projects also consider complete street elements like pedestrian or bicycle paths. Local streets are small streets that carry less traffic and have fewer lanes than major streets. Local streets are typically reconstructed in smaller single block segments, compared to major streets, which often involve the reconstruction of entire corridors.
Generally, construction will occur between April and October each year. While each location differs slightly, project improvements typically include sidewalk, curb, gutter and/or pedestrian ramp rehabilitation, minor storm drain repair and asphalt repaving. Local street reconstructions are anticipated to last approximately 2-4 weeks. Area residents can expect construction noise, dust, and vibration during normal working hours. Vehicle and pedestrian routes may be detoured but access to properties will be maintained whenever possible. The project team will coordinate with individual residents where drive approaches require replacement.
Salt Lake City’s Pavement Management Team collects and analyzes pavement data to determine the most cost effective maintenance strategy for the City’s roadway network of 1,850 lane miles. Road conditions are evaluated by field inspection and automated pavement surveys and the data determines the type of maintenance plan each road receives. Street improvement project locations are determined by the pavement condition and funding rotates through all seven districts. Read the Salt Lake City Engineering Six-Year Pavement Plan.

Transportation Projects
The Salt Lake City Transportation Division is working on many projects throughout the city. Transportation projects are designed to create a safer and more pleasant environment for all road users, including people walking, driving and bicycling. These projects are typically smaller in scale, and construction takes place in a singular location, such as an intersection, rather than the entire roadway. Transportation projects can take many forms, such as:
Physical infrastructure changes: Adding speed humps, chicanes, traffic circles, medians, roundabouts, and raised crosswalks.
Street design changes: Narrowing streets, adding bike lanes, improving sidewalks, and upgrading pedestrian crossings.
Roadway markings and signage: Adding pavement markings, crosswalks, and traffic signs to slow traffic and make it more predictable.
Traffic signal timing changes: Changing traffic signal timing to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety and reduce speeding.
Learn more about Transportation projects on the Transportation Division website.
Roadway Maintenance
Salt Lake City also performs roadway maintenance, which differs from roadway reconstruction. The main differences between the two are as follows:
Purpose: Roadway maintenance aims to preserve and extend the life of the existing roadway, while reconstruction aims to replace or significantly upgrade the existing roadway infrastructure.
Scope: Roadway maintenance typically involves smaller-scale repairs, such as repairing cracks and resurfacing the roadway to prolong the surface life. Roadway reconstruction involves major upgrades, such as replacing the entire roadway surface and substructure, updating drainage systems, and the addition of complete street elements such as bicycle and pedestrian paths.
Timeframe: Roadway maintenance projects are typically completed in less time while roadway reconstruction projects generally take longer to complete as they involve more extensive work and often require lane closures and other more significant impacts.

Additional Resources
UDOT and Private Roads
Not all roads within the Salt Lake City boundaries are owned by Salt Lake City. Some roads are owned and maintained by the Utah Department of Transportation (sections of 700 East, 400 South, Foothill Drive, and others) and private entities.
Fiber Projects
Internet service providers often install fiber lines in the public right of way. A great deal of construction will involve boring in parking strips and the street. This type of construction should last between 8 and 14 days. If the construction is occurring on a power pole, it will likely take less time and be less disturbing than if in the street or parking strip. Check to see if a phone number is located on the vehicle at the site. If no phone number is displayed, check the public permits map or the Citizen Access Portal to research individual permits near your address.

Funding
These projects are funded through the 2018 voter-approved Funding Our Future street reconstruction bond. On November 6, 2018, Salt Lake City voters approved the $87 million Funding Our Future Streets Reconstruction Bond. This funding is allowing the City to begin addressing our most deteriorating streets and, when paired with new sales tax revenue for streets maintenance, enables us to prolong the life of our entire street network.
