Upcoming Construction Activities

Over the next several weeks, crews will be working at intermittent locations throughout the corridor as part of ongoing fiber installation work.

 

Crews will prepare for concrete vault installation, junction box installation, drilling operations, and trenching. This work is expected to last approximately 4-6 weeks*. This work will progress incrementally down the canyon toward Logan City on a weekly basis, starting at the following locations:

  • Milepost (MP) 464 and 464.5 (Near Spring Hollow Campground)
  • Milepost (MP) 469.5 to 470.75 (Near Right Hand Fork)

 

Further operations will include drilling, bridge work, and junction box installations in the traffic lanes. This work is expected to continue for approximately 2-3 weeks* starting at the following locations:

  • Milepost (MP) 474.5 to 476 (Near Temple Fork Rd)

 

Traffic control will remain in place throughout each weekend until Memorial Day.

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.
