d the UHP closed the route to I-215 from Foothill headed south. This cut off a major route from north of I-80 to the south part of Salt Lake Valley. So all the traffic had to re-route, and between 1300 East and Foothill there are only TWO routes that cross I-80, 1700 east and 2000 east. We live in East Milcreek, and both of us work in Research Park, so we travel 2000 east every day. The Friday night commute was the worst I have ever seen. What usually is 15 minute drive home from work turned into an hour and a half commute for Rae, and through re-routing and driving the neighborhood roads I was able to get home in about 40 minutes. The amount of traffic, going down 2000 East was amazing. It was even more than you see when the fireworks end at Sugarhouse Park.So I have a renewed appreciation of Foothill Blvd and I-215, to those that travel I-215 regularly, thanks.

And it was still messed up at 11:00 on my way home from the movies at the Jordan Commons. I wanted to go the long way around the valley, following I-215, because I-80 is under construction, a pain to drive, and my exit is closed from that direction. But even at that time of night they still had I-215 closed and I had to get off at 7th East instead of 13th.
Yes, we love I-215!
