UDOT warns drivers of Bangerter Highway closure this weekend

Bangerter Highway in South Jordan will be closed overnight on Friday night, as Utah’s Department of Transportation urges drivers to use alternate routes. Starting Friday at 10 p.m., highway maintenance crews will close Bangerter Highway in both directions from 9000 South to 10400 South. The highway is scheduled to reopen Saturday at 5 a.m. The closure is part of a new installation of a safer pedestrian bridge, providing easier access to nearby neighborhoods, and both Elk Meadows Elementary School and Elk Ridge Middle School.
