Study Overview

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is proposing a project to construct a section of raised concrete curb in the median along US-40 in Vernal, at the intersection of 1500 West. If constructed, the raised curb would restrict left turns from 1500 West onto north or southbound US-40. 

UDOT's goal is to reduce traffic conflict points, promote driver awareness, and improve safety at this intersection. The proposed project may also include the replacement of pedestrian ramps and addition of crosswalks on the north and south legs of the intersection to improve pedestrian access and safety.

Study Map

UDOT will reevaluate the need for a raised concrete curb in the median along US-40 in Vernal at the intersection of 1500 West after improvements are made to the Aggie Boulevard intersection.
