2025 Project Highlights

 

Construction Update | Aug. 7, 2026

Travel Advisory: Annual Cattle Drive (Aug. 10-14)

Motorists traveling through Logan Canyon Aug. 10-14, should plan for potential travel delays as the annual cattle drive takes place within the corridor. Traffic may be slowed or temporary stopped while livestock are safely moved along and across US-89.

Drivers are encouraged to use extra caution, reduce speeds, and watch for livestock, riders and traffic control personnel. Construction activities may also be occuring during this time, which could result in additional delays.

Crews perform vacuum excavation around a fiber junction box near bridge crossing to safely expose conduit & prepare for fiber installation.

 

CAUTION: CYCLISTS

Construction activities are continuing near the mouth of the canyon. Cyclists are reminded to stay out of the active work zone, follow posted signage and lane directions through the lane closures. The work zone contains heavy equipment and active construction operations. Entering the work zone can result in serious injury.

Upcoming Construction Activities

Construction activities will continue at intermittent locations throughout the canyon as crews advance the final phases of the fiber installation project. Work over the coming weeks will include, junction box installation, conduit testing, road crossings, fiber installation and final paving activtities. Construction will continue incrementally down the canyon toward Logan City.

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

  • Milepost (MP) 469 to 470 (Near Right Hand Fork Canyon)
  • Milepost (MP) 472.4 to 472.8 (Near Temple Fork)
  • Milepost (MP) 483 to 485 (Near Franklin Basin Road)

Travel Information:

  • As the summer continues, expect additional delays due to heavy traffic flow going through the canyon
  • Drivers can expect no lane restrictions every weekend
  • No shoulder work is scheduled next week, allowing for normal travel conditions outside of intermittent work areas listed above

Please slow down, watch for crews and equipment, and follow all posted traffic control through the work zone.

* Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather, utilities, 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.

A large drilling tool rests on the ground beside a construction site. The cylindrical steel attachment, marked “R16,” features multiple cutting teeth and protrusions used for rock or soil excavation. Dry grass, scattered construction materials, and wooden timbers surround the equipment, indicating an active roadside construction area. PIN 21397

Dewatering pumps and hoses are positioned around the excavation to remove water, while loose soil and gravel surround the work area. Heavy construction equipment is visible at the edge of the excavation. PIN 21397

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.
