Semi-truck rollover closes westbound I-80 near Silver Creek, causes delays
A rollover near milepost 147 shut westbound I-80 near Silver Creek, spilling juice concentrate and backing up commuters, visitors and freight across Summit County.
A semi-truck rollover near milepost 147 shut down all westbound lanes of Interstate 80 east of Park City near Silver Creek, snarling one of Summit County’s main links to the Salt Lake Valley. Emergency crews and a heavy-duty wrecker worked the scene. The driver was not injured.
The crash added a cleanup problem to the traffic mess: the semi was leaking food-grade juice concentrate onto the roadway. One westbound lane was expected to reopen while crews continued clearing the truck and the spill, and motorists should expect major delays and avoid the area if possible.
That stretch carries daily commuters, Park City visitors, service vehicles and freight moving in and out of the Wasatch Back, and a closure at Silver Creek can quickly ripple through work schedules, deliveries and travel times across the county. Drivers trying to bypass the slowdown were pointed toward State Route 32 or Interstate 84 while the shutdown remained in effect.
The affected segment sits inside UDOT’s I-80 corridor labeled I-80; HI-UTE Ranch to Silver Creek Jct, from milepost 143.33 to 147.49 in Summit County. UDOT’s traffic system provides live cameras, traffic details, road conditions and traveler information, and the agency updates crash and congestion impacts around the clock.
