Project location: F-I-80 (74) 70
This F-I-80 Preservation High Volume Project was west of Salt Lake City in Tooele County from milepost 70 to milepost 80. The project consisted of a full width 1.5-inch roto-mill with a 1.5-inch SMA (Stone Matrix Asphalt) overlay both in the westbound and eastbound lanes. The project also added UTBC shouldering, rumble strips, new pavement marking paint with thermoplastic messages, updates to the guardrail, and new delineators. This stretch of I-80 from the SLC International Airport to the western state line is the main corridor to the West.
