US-189 Wallsburg to Charleston

The US-189 Wallsburg to Charleston project would improve vehicle capacity and address safety deficiencies near Deer Creek Reservoir, in Wasatch County. Primary work items:

• Widening US-189 to include two travel lanes in each direction, for the northbound and southbound traffic.

• Intersection and roadway curvature safety improvements.

• Significant hillside excavation and rock cutting to make space for the road widening.

  • Excavated hillside soils would be placed along the east side of US-189 and then shaped and vegetated to match the surrounding hillside conditions. Click this link to see a visual example of how the excavated hillside soils would look.   

• Signalizing the US-189 and SR-113 intersection.

• Enhancing the Island Beach Day Use Area entrance. 

• Installing wildlife protection measures.
