What You Need To Know
The S-Line will keep running during construction, but there will be brief service interruptions for some upgrades.
UTA and Salt Lake City are working together to keep disruptions as minimal as possible. If there are major street or access closures, we will post them ahead of time on this webpage, on social media, or in Rider Insider newsletters (subscribe here). Service alerts will be shared (sign up here), and bus bridge service will be available if needed.
Upcoming Traffic Impacts
As construction on the S-Line Extension Project continues, travelers should plan for changing traffic conditions near 1100 East, Simpson Avenue, and Sugarmont Drive throughout July. Upcoming work will require temporary road closures, lane restrictions, detours, and changing access patterns as crews continue utility relocations, roadway improvements, and preparations for future track installation.
July 6 – July 17
- Northbound 1100 East closure
- Westbound Simpson Avenue closure
- Construction activity near Sugarmont Apartments and along portions of Sugarmont Drive
July 20 – August 31
- Full closure of 1100 East between Sugarmont Drive and Simpson Avenue
Please follow all posted detour signage, allow additional travel time, and use caution when traveling near active work zones. Access to businesses and properties will be maintained whenever possible during construction. Traffic control measures may change as construction progresses.
What To Expect
During construction, residents, businesses, cyclists, pedestrians, and travelers may experience:
- Temporary lane closures and traffic detours
- Sidewalk and pedestrian route adjustments
- Construction equipment and increased activity in work zones
- Periodic changes to driveway, business, or property access
- Noise, dust, and lighting associated with construction operations
Parley's Trail is expected to remain open during construction, although temporary reroutes may occur near active work zones.
Why This Is Happening
This extension is a key investment in sustainable transportation for the Sugar House business district, bringing the streetcar closer to shops, restaurants, new housing, and the University of Utah Sugar House Health Center.
