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*:

• The intersection of 500 West/300 South remains closed while crews excavate in preparation for concrete. This closure will be in place for approximately three more weeks due to some unforeseen utility conflicts. Freedom Boulevard to 500 West is open to local traffic while Freedom Boulevard to University Avenue is open to all traffic. Freedom Boulevard is open to north/south traffic.
• Crews continue hand-pouring sidewalks, ADA ramps, and driveway tie-ins through next week.

Impacts:

Homeowners can expect open trenching and intermittent access limitations during this work. One lane in each direction will be open on 300 South. Work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless noted.

• 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.
