    Please do something about the I-80 EB temporary bridge that is going to be used for nearly a year. This bridge is sagging so bad now that I feel it is unsafe. The left Eastbound lane is like a ramp for Evel Knievel. There are 3 rises in it. The first is what it should be like. The second is probably a 12inch rise in the middle of nowhere, across the entire road. The third, is probably about 18 inches of rise in the righthand lane, which is ridiculously unsafe, especially when it is snowy and icy/slick. The left lane on that third rise would have to be +24inches of rise from the lowest part of the Bridgeway and comes to a sharp point within a short distance, causing it to launch vehicles up and unloading their suspensions and positive tire contact onto the roadway. This is extremely dangerous for anyone, but especially any semi tractor or anyone that is travelling next to them, even at 50mph. I am truly surprised that there has not been a serious wreck right there. I have personally witnessed two separate times where a semi temporarily lost slight control there and went 3+ feet into the right lane. My friend that is a truck driver, says that he goes over that at 45mph and still feels unsafe for him and the people around him. "I know you have already thought of this", but could you build up the area in front of the rise but 6-10" before someone dies?

    ALL lanes at I-80EB have a asphalt repair across the roadway after a vendor did some work 18 months ago. I have been calling on this "speedbump for 17 of those 18 months with absolutely no attention or caring. I was told it was high/swelled because of the heat and that it would go down after it cooled in the fall. that was in July of 2017. We have had more than enough days to cool down. there were a total of 6 or 8 of these sections from I-215 over to 7200 west (both EB and WB) 2 of them are extremely rough and tall. It jars your teeth and ruptures kidneys driving over them at the speed limit and even at 60MPH. My car has needed 3 alignments in 18 months. (2014 auto) The alignment shop has verified that this SPEEDBUMP is probably the culprit. I have seen all of these reported on here before, but no responses of fixes. I am really trying to understand the point of having a tool (this app) if UDOT is not using it other than to make the public feel like they have some input. I AM BEGGING YOU TO FIX THESE!!!! they are not going to "UNSWELL" any further than they are. The truckers coming over the Wasatch going WB are full of ice and snow clumps. When they hit those, it jars giant chunks loose and fall off. if they don't hit a vehicle at that moment, 90% of the time, they are left lying in the INTERSTATE for another car to hit! Sometimes they are VER significant in size.
    PLEASE give some attention to I-80 from 1-215 to 7200 West in both directions EB and WB.

    construction barrels 2.5 feet into the #2 lane on the onramp. No construction, just lazy workers that did not pull them ALL the way off of the road and out of the way.

    I-80 heading both WB and EB, across from north side to south side, there are BIG bumps that have been filled with asphalt that are a safety hazard. Motorcycle hit last week, almost losing his life while traveling 70 MPH and hit those areas, especially heading WB, between I-215 and the International Center, this needs to be fixed and addressed before a death happens.

    Just West of 5600 travelling EB, this issue STILL is not fixed after a MONTH!!!
