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 will construct a roundabout to improve traffic flow and upgrade pedestrian access and safety at the intersection of SR-289 (University Blvd) and 1150 West.
There will also be drainage improvements, utility line adjustments, lighting, new signage and striping. In addition, the project will construct 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. Acquisition of ROW will be required at the location of the proposed roundabout.
