The High Occupancy Vheicle (HOV) or Carpool lanes were closed for 9 days on Interstate 15 between State Route 56 and 163 in June 2011. Unfortunately, there were not any good alternative routes.

.

This cause some considerable backups and delays on the freeway and nearby roads. We flew overhead in Sky10 every weekday while this was happening to report on the conditions.

.

The following photos will show how backed up the roads were.

This is I-15 near SR-56. You can see the new asphalt being added to the HOV lanes. -June 20, 2011
