Planetarium, Old Greek Town and Salt Lake Central TRAX stations will be closed to service Saturday, May 5 through Wednesday, May 23. The closure is necessary to complete the construction that will connect the new Airport TRAX line at the intersection of 400 West and South Temple (just west of Arena Station) with the rest of the system.
Downtown Temporary Shuttle System
For the duration of the closure, TRAX trains will travel no further west than Arena station. However, FrontRunner trains and UTA buses that currently make connections at Salt Lake Central Station will continue to do so. UTA will operate a bus shuttle to convey passengers to and from Salt Lake Central Station and the central business district.
The shuttle route will go north from 600 West 300 South at Salt Lake Central Station then east on 200 South to 300 West. At 300 West, it will turn north to North Temple, then east to West Temple, and complete its loop back to 300 West on South Temple. From there it will return to Salt Lake Central Station via 300 West, 200 South and 600 West.
Downtown Traffic Restrictions
The closure will also affect car travel on 400 West and South Temple. Northbound vehicles will be detoured at 100 South to 300 West. Southbound traffic will still be able to travel through the affected area.
