Pothole Palooza is a week in the spring where extra focus and effort is placed towards repairing potholes.
Surface Treatment Projects
Each year, the Salt Lake City Streets Division strives to resurface 150 lane miles of Salt Lake City roadway to prolong the lifespan of the street network.
300 West: 900 South to 2100 South
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.
Foothill and Sunnyside Intersection Reconstruction
This project will replace aging pavement on Sunnyside Avenue, improve pedestrian safety at the intersection, and connect existing bike and pedestrian trails.
300 West (North Temple to 1000 North)
The Salt Lake City Engineering Division is overseeing 300 West streetscape improvements, with anticipated completion by end of 2021. This project will add curb extensions at seven intersections and one crossing near West High School, pedestrian crossing signals at 400 North and Reed Avenue, and a new park strip and other landscaping improvements to the north near Warm Springs Park.
500 East Reconstruction (1700 South to 2100 South)
500 East from 1700 South to 2100 South was reconstructed in 2020. In addition to new pavement, the roadway was improved with a northbound bike lane, upgraded bus stops, and raised crosswalks.
900 East: Hollywood Avenue to 2700 South
900 East from Hollywood Avenue to 2700 South was reconstructed in 2021 as part of the Funding Our Future initiative. The aging asphalt pavement was replaced and improvements were made to the pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
Sunnyside Avenue and 1400 East Intersection Realignment
In September 2020, Salt Lake City reconfigured the Sunnyside Avenue and 1400 East intersection to improve safety and visibility for all travelers. The new design improves access in and out of the neighborhood and the tennis courts.
100 South: 900 East to University Street
100 South from 900 East to University Street was reconstructed in 2021. This project replaced the failing pavement, improved the condition of several sidewalks and drive approaches, upgraded underground utilities, and improved pedestrian crossings.
Whitlock Avenue: Highland Drive to Elizabeth Street
During the 2020 street construction season, we improved the look and feel of Whitlock Avenue, from Highland Drive to Elizabeth Street, as part of the city’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Project features include new curb and gutter, repairs to sidewalks as needed, upgrades to pedestrian ramps, and the reconstruction of drive approaches.
