US-40; Fruitland Passing Lanes
In 2023, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) identified the need to improve safety and extend the U.S. Highway 40 passing lanes near Fruitland, Utah.
To improve safety, we will widen some sections of US-40 to extend the east and westbound passing lanes between 45000 West and 47000 West.
We will also include intersection improvements by adding left-hand turn lanes, an eastbound right-hand turn lane at 45000 West, right-hand turn lanes in both directions at 46000 West, an eastbound right-hand turn lane at 47000 West, and acceleration lanes for traffic merging onto US-40.
