Draper Mayor Troy Walker declared a state of emergency due to flooding and said several following roads were damaged or left impassible due to standing water and slide debris.
Sgt. Cameron Roden with the Utah Highway Patrol said the southbound I-15 on-ramp at 14600 South was closed due to a mudslide, and a KSL viewer submitted a photo of a sinkhole that appeared on Bangerter Parkway near 14200 South.
"Our goal as a city is to get the road open, get the infrastructure safe so people can commute," Walker said. "We realized it was going to an extensive, extensive amount of damage, and we were going to need some help," Walker added. The city has set up an emergency center and is coordinating with Salt Lake County Emergency Services. It expected to find more damage as the sun comes up Friday.
