Seriously, when in the hell is this interchange gonna open…about 2 years to build an interchange??construction in this town gets milked to the MAX!!
I agree. Can’t blame them, jobs are limited, so why rush a project, Right?
so ready for this dixie drive interchange to be done. jus curious, any word of when it will be done? so sick of dealing with bluff and sunset to get to the freeway to work in the mornings from the west side..ugh!
I have heard that it will be finished in July. Which is funny. It is already finished. They just won’t let anyone drive on it. I guess the roads won’t work unless there is pretty landscaping around it. Oh wait… that’s done too.
@Greg, seriously, whta’s up with that? The lights are up, the ramps look done, why can’t they open it up in sections? This is a reminder that St. George is still small, cuz in a bigger city, sections would open upon completion. I mean, does this interchange need to have a ribbon cutting ceremony first? lmao!!
so ready for this dixie drive interchange to be done.
you know, with the City building their landscaped islands on Dixie Dr. , The City is most likely the ones crying to UDOT …NOT TO OPEN up the Interchange…. But wait til they are done … so that the city can make a big to do about how the city made everything happen… and there will be a merry go round in every city park……
