Project Overview

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) installed three overhead variable message signs (VMS) and three traction warning signs on roadways that lead to the Cottonwood Canyons. These signs will provide up-to-date traffic conditions in both Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon. This information will assist motorists and visitors to the Cottonwood Canyons on the best location for parking and transit and ease traffic by providing early traffic information so motorists can make travelling decisions prior to entering the canyons.

The VMS signs were installed at the following approximate locations:

• 3200 East 6200 South for eastbound traffic, 
• 1770 East 9400 South for eastbound traffic, and
• 7650 South Wasatch Boulevard for southbound traffic.

The traction signs were installed at the following approximate locations:

• 3300 East 6200 South for eastbound traffic, 
• 1850 East 9400 South for eastbound traffic, and
• 8000 South Wasatch Boulevard for southbound traffic.
