CAUTION: Drivers

Due to large surface area needed for utility vault operations, the traffic control devices and barrels may be positioned closer to adjacent travel lanes than usual.

Please slow down, stay alert, and use extra caution when traveling through the work zone. Watch for crews, equipment, and changing traffic patterns to help keep all users safe.

CAUTION: CYCLISTS

Construction activities are continuing near the mouth of the canyon. Cyclists be sure to stay out of work zone and follow lane directions through the lane closures.

Upcoming Construction Activities

Construction activities will continue at intermittent locations throughout the canyon as part of ongoing fiber installation activities. Crews will continue concrete vault installation, junction box installation, and drilling operations. This work will progress incrementally down the canyon toward Logan City on a weekly basis.

Lane closures will be present as work continues in the following locations:

  • Milepost (MP) 463 to 464 (Near Second Dam)
  • Milepost (MP) 468.6 to 470.6 (Near Guinavah-Malibu Campground)

Shoulder closures will be present at the following locations:

  • Milepost (MP) 473.5 (Near Burnt Bridge)
  • Milepost (MP) 477 (Near Temple Fork Rd)

* Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather, utility, and material delays.

After kicking off in the spring of 2025 and taking a brief pause over the winter, construction resumed this April. The project continues to progress smoothly and is right on schedule for a fall completion.

CAUTION: Motorcyclists, Cyclists, and Drivers

There are trenches, uneven road surfaces, and loose gravel throughout the corridor. Please use caution and prioritize safety while travelling through the construction area. Reduce speed, follow posted signage, and be alert of crew members and equipment.

The project is utilizing one-way traffic systems to manage vehicle flow through the work zones. Drivers utilizing turnouts within the project area are advised to wait until seeing vehicles traveling in the same direction of your destination before safely re-entering the travel lane.

The machine is positioned on a paved road with loose gravel in the foreground, while green hills, trees, and mountains rise in the background. Power lines run overhead along the roadside. PIN 21397
