West Temple Reconstruction (North Temple to 400 South)

Responsive Margin

December 2024 Update

This project is almost complete! The final step is installing two HAWK crossing signals in early 2025. The necessary materials are on back order, but once available, the signals will be added at the crosswalks on West Temple at Pierpont Avenue and 150 South. After that, the project will be finished.

Overview

The West Temple reconstruction project has replaced the aging pavement from North Temple to Market Street and provided additional features to make the street safer for those driving, walking, and biking. Project improvements include:

  • New pavement

  • Improved crosswalks at Market Street, 300 South, Pierpont Avenue, 150 South, 100 South, and 50 North

  • Bus boarding islands near the 300 South intersection to improve bus transit efficiency

  • One travel lane in each direction will be converted to buffered bike lanes.
