SR-12 Bridge Work
SR-12 Bridge Work
OCTOBER UPDATE -
Crews will be working Monday through Friday from approximately sunrise to sundown. Motorists can expect up to a 15 minute delay at each bridge in each direction.
Improvement work continues at the two bridge sites.
Smith Ranch Bridge north of Henrieville is progressing well. Traffic is traveling on the new southbound bridge and traffic lane. Demolition of the northbound bridge is complete. New girders have been placed, and crews are working on creating the new bridge deck.
At the Henrieville Bridge, asphalt pavement will be placed and connected with the new bridge deck. The last few sections of concrete are being formed and poured on the structure. New guardrail will be placed over the next couple of weeks.
Please slow down and stay in your lane of travel. Thank you for your patience.
SR-12 IS OPEN DURING THESE BRIDGE UPGRADES.
State Route 12; Henrieville Area Bridge Work
Project Overview
Starting the week on November 20, 2023 The Utah Department of Transportation began removing and replacing the Henrieville Bridge and the Smith Ranch Bridge on State Route 12 in the Henrieville, Utah area. The improvements will take about a year to compete with a Winter Shutdown planned from January 20, 2024 to March 19, 2024
Henrieville Bridge: A bypass road will be built to divert traffic around the current bridge while crews rebuild. The team will begin creating the bypass road in November 2024. The bypass road will be paved and opened in March 2024. The bridge will be operational until August 2024.
Smith Ranch Bridge: This bridge will be constructed one side at a time. Traffic will be managed by a Traffic Light and northbound and southbound traffic will alternate moving across the bridge. Motorists can expect up to a 15 minute delay while waiting to cross the bridge. Construction on this bridge started March 4, 2024 along with use of the Traffic Signal to manage one lane traffic.
