Traffic Alert: Eastbound State Street traffic between 1650 West and Pleasant Grove Boulevard has been shifted to the north (see map below) to allow room to work on the south side. Lane closures within the traffic shift may occur as needed and we ask that motorists slow down and pay attention.
Project Activities:
- This coming Sunday night, April 13, Monday night, April 14, and Tuesday night, April 15, crews will raise new mast arms for the new signals at the Pleasant Grove Boulevard intersection. This work will take place from approximately 8 p.m. - 7 a.m. During this work there will be lane closures at the intersection and motorists are advised to use alternate routes to avoid delay.
- Installation of new curb and gutter on the north side of State Street east of Pleasant Grove Boulevard is ongoing through today. Single lane closures are in place during this work.
- Asphalt placement will begin in late April.
Project Overview
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) plans to widen US-89 (State Street) to a 7-lane section from 220 South in Pleasant Grove to 500 East in American Fork in two phases. The project will eliminate a choke-point by widening the road to three lanes in each direction to match existing sections on either end; upgrade signals at 500 East, 700 East, North County Boulevard, 1300 West, and Pleasant Grove Boulevard; add new curb, gutter, and sidewalk on the south side, add new storm drain, and add new/upgrade pedestrian ramps.
