Why did all these projects need to happen now?

Salt Lake City recognizes the challenges all these projects have caused to residents and businesses, but we (along with other organizations) must plan for and ensure continued investment in the community, including:

A good network of streets, sidewalks, utilities, and more for years to come

Long standing issues have been and will continue to be addressed. For example, a 2017 pavement condition survey revealed that nearly 2/3 of Salt Lake City streets are in poor or worse condition; many of these streets are in such poor condition that they need to be entirely reconstructed.

Much of our infrastructure in the Sugar House community is aging and is in dire need of replacement. We have also seen a lot of growth in this neighborhood over the past 10+ years. Though a great deal has already been done to address these issues, we need to continue to improve our public infrastructure to meet the current and future needs of this important community within our City.

What’s the difference between street maintenance and street reconstruction?

Maintenance includes activities such as crack sealing and level patching, resurfacing streets, etc. that help prolong the life of the entire street network. Reconstruction is generally performed when a street has deteriorated to the point of no return, often requiring the street to be excavated and rebuilt from the bottom up using layers of rock and asphalt.
