I-15 slow downs ?

[goofball]

heading up to montana july 3. wondering where the construction zones are that'll slow me down thru utah, and beyond if known ? would teh 215 be a better option to bypass the 15 thru slc ?

There is I-15 construction in Provo, Sandy and North Salt Lake.... but none of those are really a problem unless you come through at rush hour (which is always a problem). I-215 and the new Legacy Highway would only avoid the North Salt Lake construction.... you are pretty much stuck dealing with the rest....

I-15 from Spanish Fork to Point of the Mtn is a construction zone. Rush hour going either direction can be a nightmare.

Legacy Highway is a prettier ride, anyway. Have fun in Montana. I lived in Missoula for a few years and loved it there.

No, I never, ever, ever hiked in Montana. I worked 70 hours a week up there and didn't have enough time. Plus I'm terrified of bears.

However I did spend time in Glacier, albeit inside of my car with the doors locked.

Just North of Idaho Falls, Id. There is a stretch on I-15 that is loose gravel, 45mph and a single lane. The southbound lanes have already been recently paved. I will be traveling from Salt lake city to Helena, Mt 2 times a week probably until March 2011.
