(St George, Utah) —The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises travelers of I-15 in St. George of a lane reduction expected to remain in place for the next 9 days.

Southbound I-15 will be reduced to one lane in the work zone of the Dixie Drive Interchange construction project at approximately milepost 5.6.  The contractor will close down the right southbound lane to accommodate the safe drilling and placement of rock columns for the new interchange.  This lane closure is expected to remain in place through
Friday, January 14th.

Additionally, northbound lanes in the same work zone are expected to be impacted beginning at 9:00 a.m. this morning for approximately 15 minutes as cranes are moved to new positions on the project.

Drivers are advised to use caution, and obey posted traffic signs.
