State Route 18 Improved
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is improving the roadway on State Route 18. The work is divided into two areas: Ledges to Diamond Valley and Veyo to north of Central.
This project is a roadway asphalt rehabilitation project and will also make various improvements at different locations along SR-18, these include:
- Pedestrian access ramps
- Roadway and shoulder widening
- Concrete barrier replacement
- Dedicated turn lanes
- Addition of two-way left turn lanes
Current Construction Activites
Temporary signals and one-way traffic will be in place between Ledges and Diamond Valley through May 3. Please anticipate up to 30 minute delays when traveling on SR-18 during this time. Additionally, single lane traffic restrictions on SR-18 between Veyo and Central will continue through August to accommodate road widening operations.
SMA (deformation-resistant stone matrix asphalt) paving will begin as early as Thursday, April 20 and continue through April 29 between Ledges and Diamond Valley (approximately SR-18 mile posts 9 to 13). A section of northbound SR-18 between Veyo and Central will begin paving as early as Tuesday, April 18 and continue for approximately two days.
