Highway traffic shuffle explainer video from @utahtransportation

The video uses aerial drone footage and animated graphics to explain an upcoming traffic shift on a highway in Davis County. It first identifies the current driving lanes and the new construction area, then visually demonstrates how traffic will be 'shuffled' onto the new freeway. Finally, it explains that this allows for the demolition of the old road and shows an animated depiction of the project's final, improved result.
