Redwood down to two lanes this weekend

Redwood Road between 7700 South and 8500 South will be down to two lanes this weekend as Utah Transit Authority crews work on the Mid-Jordan TRAX rail crossing.

On Saturday, construction work begins at 7 a.m. and continues through Sunday. Normal traffic flow will resume by 5 a.m. Monday.

It is the first in a series of lane closures to take place on Redwood in the area to accommodate utility work and upgrades to the railroad crossing. Additional closures will be in late October and early November.

The 10.6-mile Mid-Jordan TRAX line will run from the Murray 6400 South TRAX station southwest through Midvale, West Jordan and South Jordan. Trains will be running in the area by 2015.
