US 89 Shoulders Project - April 12, 2017

 

Current Work

Due to the recent wet weather, the work schedule has shifted back approximately 3 days
* Crews are currently placing new road base materials in the shoulder.
* Utility upgrades are taking place on both sides of the road.
* Questar Gas anticipates beginning some work next week. Some lane closures in the northbound right lane will take place in the areas that they are working in.

Please do not move traffic control barrels or cones. These are placed in specific areas to insure the safety of motorists, residents, and construction workers.

Current Closures

▪ The southbound right travel lane is currently closed in the areas the crews are working. Due to the nature of the work, closures will vary daily.
▪ Temporary lane closures in the northbound right travel lane are expected over the next few weeks. This will be to accommodate work Questar is doing on the current gas line.
 

 

Up Coming Work

▪ Questar Gas is expected to begin installing new gas line on the east side of the road beginning in mid-April. They will be digging trenches along the east side of the road to complete this work.
▪ Paving of the shoulders on the west side of the road is expected to take place the third week of April.
 

 

Project Location

UDOT will widen the shoulders on Main Street (US-89). This work will take place along US-89 in Willard starting near mile post 426 and extending almost to the junction of SR-126 and US-89.

Purpose of the Project

This project will improve safety for those traveling by automobile and bicycle, by providing a paved standard shoulder in places that now only have a gravel shoulder.

What to Expect

▪ Work will normally occur Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
▪ Anticipate construction noise and vibrations.
▪ Right travel lane will be closed in the areas crew are working.
▪ This project is expected to be complete around Labor Day Weekend 2017.
