A small rockslide closed ramps at the I-215/I-80 interchange near Parleys Canyon on Sunday, Nov. 1.
Rocks and debris hit the I-215 East northbound ramp to I-80 eastbound around 8 p.m., according to a post on X by SLCScanner. At least one vehicle struck a rock. The vehicle was damaged, but the driver was not injured.
