Project Overview

Crews are continuing to make good progress on the installation of six new cattleguards. Currently, there is a temporary traffic light installed for traffic management, which will be removed during the paving of the roads. The cattleguards will be fully completed by June 15.

 

Lane leveling will start at the south end of the project towards Cedar Breaks on June 15. Lane leveling is the process of filling in the wheel-path and other road surface imperfections. This will make the roads more even, and easier to pave and traverse once paving begins. During this process, the crews will cover approximately five miles a day.

 

Please slow down and follow all traffic control.
