Overview

 

The Utah Department of Transportation made a proposal to use federal funds to make intersection improvements on SR-289 between mileposts 0.8 and 0.95 in Cedar City in Iron County, UT. This project constructed a roundabout to improve traffic flow and upgrade pedestrian access and safety.

There will also be drainage improvements, utility line adjustments, lighting, new signage and striping. In addition, the project constructed a new sidewalk along the north side of Center Street/University Blvd extending west over I-15 to tie into the existing sidewalk on the west side of the overpass. 

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) completed topographical surveys and an environmental study on SR-289 (University Parkway) around the intersection of 1150 W and University Blvd and also West to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Church Parking lot in Cedar City. This project is constructing a roundabout to improve traffic flow, pedestrian paths and safety at this intersection.
