Sugar House’s 2100 South Reopens After Major Overhaul

Officials say the overhaul replaced century-old pipes to future‑proof the corridor.

Overview

  • Salt Lake City marked the reopening of 2100 South with a ceremony, with the mayor declaring the corridor largely open after a multi‑year rebuild.
  • Crews replaced more than 7,000 feet of underground utilities and reconfigured the street to curb speeding and reduce serious collisions.
  • Streetscape upgrades include over 150 new trees along with added bike racks and benches to support a more walkable district.
  • The city says $500,000 in mitigation grants went to 175 businesses during construction, though some shops still closed after prolonged disruptions.
  • Follow‑up work continues on 1300 East with overnight paving expected to wrap up by Thanksgiving, as merchants promote Sugar Fest on Oct. 4 and the city prepares for an S‑Line streetcar extension next year.
