Sundt Construction, Inc., recently earned two awards for its work on the Utah Department of Transportation Interstate 80 Westbound highway improvement project. The project was recognized as the Associated General Contractors of America Utah Chapter’s Highway Project of the Year for projects under $5 million and by the publication Utah Construction and Design as its Highway Project of the Year for projects under $10 million.
The project has helped improve traffic flow between State Road 201 and State Road 36 in western Salt Lake and eastern Tooele Counties by adding a new exit-only lane on westbound I-80 and an auxiliary lane off-ramp of State Road 201 to the on-ramp of State Road 36. To reduce environmental impacts, the team crushed more than 3,600 cubic yards of existing concrete and repurposed it to build the new auxiliary lane.
The team worked closely with local governments and organizations, including the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers, to move two historical Oregon Trail markers to a new site nearby after they were impacted by the closure of viewing areas along the westbound I-80.
