Passing Lanes and Utahraptor State Park Access

The Utah Department of Transportation(UDOT) is nearly done with operations to widen the roadway along a four-mile section adjacent to the Utahraptor State Park access point. Objectives have included the installation of a northbound and southbound passing lane, and various access enhancements near the park entrance. These improvements include a paved entry into the new park entrance, a northbound right-turn deceleration lane into the park, a northbound right-turn acceleration lane out of the park, and a southbound left-turn lane into the park. These additions are designed to improve visitor access by decreasing motorist congestion and increasing motorist safety.

Route:  US-191 |  Start Milepost: 138.6 -  End Milepost: 142.3

Anticipated Impacts

Crews are nearly done with final stages of the project! Crews have finished up their work and will return on Monday 07/29 to apply a second layer to the road striping. There should be minimal traffic impacts from here on out (if any). Once striping is complete, crews will take down all signage and construction zone indicators. While the signs are posted however, motorists should still reduce speeds to 55 mph approaching work zones. Please exercise caution and reduce speed while in the construction zone. 

-Lane Restriction is 14ft. during construction hours. Please contact hotline if special accommodations are necessary.
