As the summer construction season heats up, West Valley City is preparing to reconstruct 3600 West from 3500 South to 4100 South. The project is slated to begin in June and is expected to be completed in October. Although 3600 West is a City road, the project is being funded by Federal funds and therefore must be overseen by the Utah Department of Transportation.

With the road being completely reconstructed, 3600 West will be closed except to residents who live on the street, those attending school or those with business to conduct in the area. Alternative routes from using 3600 West are 2700 West and 3200 West or Bangerter Highway.

More information will be available once construction has begun and can be obtained by calling (801) 963-3318.

West Valley City has completed the first sidewalk from the recently created sidewalk prioritization index that analyzes which areas of the City are in need of new sidewalks. A new sidewalk was completed at approximately 4620 West and 3855 South in the area of Jackling Elementary. West Valley City Public Work crews completed the project which consisted of 743 feet of concrete being poured, moving and repairing sprinkler systems and about 160 tons of dirt and debris was removed for the project.

The sidewalk prioritization index identifies street segments that lack sidewalk within elementary school boundary and assigns points based on certain criteria. The overall estimated cost for the sidewalk projects on the index is approximately $23.4 million, with $3.7 million worth of projects on major streets.

“We’re excited to be moving forward with these sidewalk projects,” says City Manager Wayne Pyle. “Some of these sidewalks have needed help for awhile and it’s not only going to increase the safety of our pedestrians but will improve the aesthetics throughout the City.”
