Airport TRAX Construction:
We are in the midst of constructing the Airport TRAX line in the area. The line will run west along North Temple to the Salt Lake International Airport. It will feature six stations including a transfer station to FrontRunner commuter rail.

We will adjust work along North Temple in the area of the State Fairpark to accommodate the Utah State Fair. At least one lane on North Temple will be open in either direction at all times. If you choose to drive to the venue, exercise caution through the construction zone on North Temple.

West of Fairgrounds construction will be taking place in the center of North Temple between 2400 West and the Jordan River Bridge. One lane of traffic will be open in each direction but left-turns will be allowed only at signalized intersections.

East of Fairgrounds construction will be taking place in the center of the roadway from 600 West to 800 West. Construction will be taking place on the outside lanes and roadside from 800 West to 1000 West, but business access will be maintained throughout the area.
