SALT LAKE CITY — The west lanes of Bangerter Highway, from 4700 South to 6200 South were closed Saturday morning, according to the Utah Department of Transportation, due to icy conditions.
First closed around 8 a.m., the Utah Department of Transportation reopened the road around 10:30 a.m.
Officials issued road weather warnings, as a storm moved through the state from Thursday to Saturday, with "heavy mountain road snow" making travel up the canyons for skiers difficult on President's Day weekend. "Very slick conditions are expected through Saturday morning for portions of I-15 and the urban corridor," according to UDOT, though as the day warms the ice is expected to melt.
Correction: Bangerter Highway runs east-west in the area, not north-south as originally reported.
