US 89 Shoulders Project - August 9, 2017

 

Current Work

▪ Excavation of the shoulders on the east side of the road is nearly complete. Following the excavation, crews will be placing road base materials.
▪ Work on the concrete water way along the east side on the road will begin next Monday. This water way will be a shallow, but wide, valley gutter that will help control water drainage on the east side of the road.
▪ Pipe work in select locations will take place through August.

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

Upcoming Work

▪ Crews plan to place concrete valley gutters in various locations along the east side of the road. This work is expected to take place mid-August. Once the concrete is placed, the concrete will need to fully cure before traffic will be allowed to drive across the concrete. This curing process can take up to 28 days.

Project Location

UDOT is widening the shoulders on Main Street (US-89). This work is taking 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.
▪ The right travel lane will be closed in the areas in which crews are working.
▪ This project is expected to be complete around Labor Day weekend 2017.
