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. 

 

Design Progress

The design phase of the project is now complete. Construction began on June 9, 2025. 

 

 

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 will construct a roundabout to improve traffic flow, pedestrian paths and safety at this intersection.
