SALT LAKE CITY — Interstate 80 will be closed for part of the weekend so Utah Highway Patrol troopers can relocate dozens of elk.

According to a Facebook post from UHP, these closures are expected to begin at 10 a.m. Sunday:

  • I-80 westbound at East Canyon
  • East Canyon westbound onramp
  • I-80 eastbound at approximately 2600 East at the split
  • Foothill northbound offramp
  • I-80 eastbound from I-215 East
  • Parleys Way southbound
  • Foothill southbound at Gas Station

Troopers said closure times will depend upon the herd and the movement.
