http://www.dot.state.ut.us/main/f?p=...:1:T,V:1,37279
Westbound I-80 closed 4 p.m. August 9 to 4 p.m. August 10

Westbound I-80 will close at 4 p.m. August 9 to allow crews to replace the Lambs Canyon and Mountain Dell bridges. The closure will be in place until 4 p.m. August 10. Motorists are advised to use I-84 or U.S. 189 through Provo Canyon as alternates. The roads beneath the bridges will also be closed beginning August 4 through the end of August.

Crews will close eastbound I-80 the following weekend for 24 hours. The closure will be in place August 16 at 7 p.m. through 7 p.m. August 17.

These closures will allow the bridges to be replaced using accelerate bridge techniques. Demolition and replacement through traditional methods would require several months or restrictions to one lane in each direction.
