@utahtransportation Fridays are just different around here. 😮‍💨 Ok technically not last Friday, but the friday before that, our crews got extra busy. In that weekend alone, crews poured a new bridge for the I-215 W project and set girders (bridge beams) for the 4400 S project in Riverdale. It’s not by accident that Fridays are busy. We do most of our work overnight and on the weekends to minimize delays. So next time you pass a project and wonder, “where are the workers?” Just know, we were probably out there last Friday (and Saturday) night. Heads up for tonight: US-89 in Farmington will be closed from Park Lane to Parrish Lane for more work like this.
