Work is underway. North of 40th Ave E, London Road is only open to northbound traffic. Southbound traffic is detoured on to Superior St to 40th Ave E. The southbound truck detour has traffic continue on Superior St to 21st Ave E.
There is a hard closure of London Road just past the business accesses before 26th Ave E when heading north/east. There is also a hard closure of 26th Ave E just up the hill from London Road. All north/east I-35 traffic is on a bypass to continue on London Road. There is no access to 26th Ave E from I-35 or London Road.
Traffic is expected to be in this configuration through the fall.

The Utah DOT Traffic and Safety division produced an informational video on roundabouts. It showcases the benefits of roundabouts (especially the safety benefit) to a wide variety of audiences. Roundabouts are not the perfect solution at all intersections, however, in the right locations, roundabouts can be a very safe and efficient way to move not just motor vehicles but pedestrians and bicyclists, too.
