Getting to the Gladys Knight Concert

As you may know, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has undertaken a major project on Interstate 80 that includes replacing 12 bridges in just two months. You can learn more about the Innovate 80 project at www.udot.utah.gov/innovate80.

Utah Symphony | Utah Opera has worked closely with UDOT to ensure this project does not conflict with our summer Festival in Park City, and UDOT has been very helpful in adjusting road closure times to ensure our patrons can make it to and from the Festival from Salt Lake City.

At 7 PM on August 16 (the day of the Gladys Knight concert), UDOT will be closing all eastbound lanes on I-80 to replace the Lambs Canyon / Mt. Dell bridges. This closure means our guests traveling from Salt Lake City to Park City will be able to drive to our performance on I-80 but must be past the Mt. Dell bridge by 7 PM. Westbound traffic will not be affected by the road closure so travel back to Salt Lake City will remain unchanged.

Due to road closure on I-80, we will be opening the gates at 4:30 PM in anticipation of early arrivals. UDOT recommends that everyone be through Parley’s Canyon before 6:30 PM. We invite you to come up to Park City early and either have dinner in the city or bring a picnic to the hill and eat before the concert. Visit www.deervalleymusicfestival.org to see discounts you can receive with your concert ticket.

We will also have FM100 on-site starting at 3 PM with live on-air broadcasts and free giveaways. Stop by their Live Remote and enter to win a chance at FREE Deer Valley® lift passes for the 2008- 2009 ski season!

Thanks for your understanding! We hope you’ll plan ahead and come up early to have a great time in Park City.
