Al Hartmann | The Salt Lake Tribune With 150 road projects for 2016 UDOT is encouraging safe driving around construction areas. Cars go by at over 70 mph near road construction between 12300 South and Bangerter Highway exits on I-15 Tuesday April 12. Often orange barrels or a concrete barrier is the only thing protecting road workers from traffic passing by only 3 feet away.
