U.S. Route 191 Indian Canyon Passing Lane

 

Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has designed improvements to U.S. Route 191 in the Indian Canyon area, approximately 13 miles south of Duchesne in Duchesne County. The road between milepost 280 and 282 will be widened to build a 2-mile long southbound passing lane. The new lane will be 12 feet wide. The project will also construct 6-foot wide shoulders on both sides of the road, replace several culverts to improve drainage, and update striping.

 

Work on the culvert replacements began in November 2023 with the remainder of the work slated for the 2024 construction year.

 

The passing lane is designed to improve safety by providing a space for faster vehicles to pass slower traffic and to increase capacity on a busy trucking route. These improvements will support the region's growing transportation and economic development needs.
