The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is constructing improvements for US-89 (300 South) in Provo between University Avenue and 500 West. The project is improving the road and underground infrastructure while providing better transportation options for all kinds of road users.
The project team is improving the corridor by:
- Replacing 300 South asphalt with concrete pavement
- Upgrading the roadway drainage system with storm drain, curb and gutter
- Replacing aged underground utilities including sewer and culinary water
- Adding new pedestrian/bicycle crosswalks in several locations
- Widening the sidewalk on both sides of 300 South
- Reconstructing driveway approaches
- Adding on-street bicycle lanes
- Installing "bump-outs" on 400 West to reduce the crossing distance at intersections without painted crosswalks
- Installing raised medians between blocks to improve safety
- *In locations with existing buildings at the back of sidewalk, widening may be required if or when those properties are redeveloped.
