Overview
- UDOT estimates the influx will be driven by three events: Post Malone at RedWest Festival (~40,000), the University of Utah home football game (~55,000), and Benson Boone at the Delta Center (~18,000).
- Drivers are urged to use 600 South or 600 North and allow extra travel time because construction on 400 South will constrain typical downtown circulation.
- UTA is expanding TRAX Green Line service near the Utah State Fairpark to move crowds to and from RedWest and other downtown venues.
- Salt Lake City Police will staff each event and encourage vigilance and patience to maintain safety during the heavy traffic.
- Visit Salt Lake underscores the economic upside, citing about $6 billion in direct visitor spending last year, support for roughly 56,000 jobs, and 46% of statewide visitor spending occurring in Salt Lake County.
