The new 1000 North bridge is scheduled to be open to traffic by Monday, April 19. This new bridge will maintain the same access to I-15 that existed before construction and will also provide east/west access to Warm Springs Road. It includes a southbound off-ramp from I-15 to the intersection of 900 West and 900 North (opening with the bridge), an on-ramp to southbound I-15 (already open), and an on-ramp to northbound I-15 (opening at project completion in Fall 2010). This activity is weather dependant and the date is subject to change.

NOTE:Motorists can access Warm Springs Road by exiting southbound I-15 at 2300 North and proceeding under the Beck Street Bridge. When the 1000 North Bridge is open, southbound motorists will be able to exit I-15 at 1000 North and proceeding east over the new bridge. At that time, northbound motorists will be able to access Warm Springs Road by exiting I-15 at 600 North, proceeding west to 900 West and proceeding north to the new bridge at 1000 North then over to Warm Springs Road. The I-15 EXPRESSLink project team recommends motorists use this new route to access Warm Springs Road when the bridge opens. The graphic below details the new driving route.
