US 89 Shoulders Project - March 29, 2017

 

Current Work

▪ Excavation of the shoulders on the west side of the road will continue through the week. Crews plan to work between 8700 South and 8000 South through the end of the week.
▪ At the beginning of next week, crews will move to the northern limits of the project, and begin to place new road base materials in the shoulder.
▪ Utility Upgrades are taking place on both side 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.

Current Closures

▪ The southbound right travel lane is currently closed from approximately 8700 South to 8000 South.
▪ 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.
