I-15 Interchange at American Fork Main Street: Main Street Area (East of I-15) - Crews are working on the signal and street pole foundations from Kawakami Drive to U.S. 89 (State Street).
Through November: Main Street remains restricted to one lane in each direction from State Street to I-15 while crews reconstruct the south half of Main Street. Motorists will be able to access businesses along the south side of Main Street at Kawakami Drive. Motorists should expect moderate to heavy travel delays.
In the area of the on-ramp to northbound I-15, crews are building retaining walls.
Crews continue to prepare and pave various segments of the roadway and the on- and off-ramps at the interchange. Motorists will be moved over to the new southbound on and northbound off-ramps by mid-November.
The bridge sections for the south half of the bridge are in place. Crews will build forms and rebar framework for the remainder of the bridge deck. They will also be working on safety walls (parapets) and the transition areas leading up to the bridge.
Please use caution when exiting and entering the interstate and expect slight travel delays as trucks, heavy equipment and construction crews are working nearby. Flaggers are posted to guide motorists through the construction area.
I-15 Travel Lane Changes: The travel lanes along I-15 near the American Fork Main Street interchange have been narrowed to 11 feet and the speed limit is reduced to 55 mph. Please remember, fines for speeding violations are doubled in construction zones.
Mill Pond Road Area in Lehi to American Fork Main St.: North Area - The shoulders along the south side of the new road have been paved. Crews are relocating utility lines and installing traffic signal conduit.
South Area - Utility work continues. Construction of the embankment and retaining walls for the new bridge is underway. Crews will haul in fill material and build the retaining walls for the next several weeks. Motorists should expect moderate travel delays due to these trucks accessing the work zone. Flaggers will be posted to guide traffic through the area. This operation will continue through mid-November.
Mill Pond Road south of the intersection with 8020 North in Lehi (south of the UPRR tracks) will remain closed until late spring 2010. Residents traveling north and south in this area can use 200 South to 300 West in American Fork or 300 East to 700 South in Lehi as alternatives.

500 West to 300 East Area (Lehi): Installation of the 60-inch water line is complete. Construction of utility access boxes and other utility lines (culinary water, irrigation and storm drain) continues. Please use caution as large construction equipment is accessing the work area.
1100 West to 500 West Area (Lehi): Crews have installed the 60-inch water line under 1100 West and are moving east. Additional utility lines will be placed underneath the road.
Through Oct. 31: The closure of 1100 West has been extended through Oct. 31 for storm drain and signal conduit installation underneath the road. As 1700 West is also closed for reconstruction, motorists will need to use 500 West or 2300 West as alternative routes.
Road base is being placed in preparation for the concrete pavement between 1100 West and 500 West. Paving is scheduled for the first week in November. Please use caution as large trucks are accessing the work zone.
