Project Overview

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will begin construction at the SR-121 (500 North) & 1500 West intersection in Vernal to improve motorist and pedestrian safety. Improvements include some road widening at the intersections and new pedestrian sidewalks/crosswalks at all four corners which will be tied to the new Steinaker Service Canal. Additionally, updated traffic signals, storm drainage, and intersection corners enhanced to allow safer turns for drivers.

Improvements include:

• Road restoration & widening

  • NB/SB: Separate left and shared through-right

  • EB/WB: Separate left, through, and right

• Updated storm drainage (with Ashley Central Irrigation)

• Upgraded sidewalk/crosswalk(s)

• Traffic signal upgrades

• Final paving

These upgrades are designed to support growth in the area while enhancing mobility and pedestrian safety.
