300 South Improved
300 South Improved
The roadway between University Avenue and 500 West will be reconstructed in a similar layout as previous projects on U.S. 89 in Provo have done. This will improve the roadway and underground infrastructure while providing better transportation options for all kinds of road users.
Project Activities*:
Traffic on 500 West has been shifted to the east side while crews work on the west side of the intersection through early November. There will be no east/west access from 500 West to 300 South in either direction until the intersection is complete. 300 South reamains limited to local access only. See map below for alternate routes. Crews anticipate installing the new signals at the pedestrian/bicycle crossings at 100 West and 300 West as early as the week of November 4. Pedestrians and cyclists should continue to detour at 100 West and 300 West to University Ave or Freedom Ave. Landscape restoration is ongoing throughout the project corridor. |

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is constructing improvements for US-89 (300 South) in Provo between University Avenue and 500 West. The project is improving the road and underground infrastructure while providing better transportation options for all kinds of road users.
The project team is improving the corridor by:
- Replacing 300 South asphalt with concrete pavement
- Upgrading the roadway drainage system with storm drain, curb and gutter
- Replacing aged underground utilities including sewer and culinary water
- Adding new pedestrian/bicycle crosswalks in several locations
- Widening the sidewalk on both sides of 300 South
- Reconstructing driveway approaches
- Adding on-street bicycle lanes
- Installing "bump-outs" on 400 West to reduce the crossing distance at intersections without painted crosswalks
- Installing raised medians between blocks to improve safety
- *In locations with existing buildings at the back of sidewalk, widening may be required if or when those properties are redeveloped.
