US-40 | Fruitland | Improved

UDOT is increasing safety on US-40 in Fruitland, Utah, by extending passing lanes and adding dedicated turn and acceleration lanes at key intersections.

Overview

Project Overview

To improve safety on U.S. Route 40, in Fruitland Utah we widened sections of US-40 to extend the east and westbound passing lanes between 45000 West and 47000 West. Improvements were also made to intersections by adding left-hand turn lanes throughout the project area, an eastbound right-hand turn lane at 45000 West, a 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.

Upcoming Work:

Work is now substantially complete on the project. Through late-fall 2026, UDOT will apply final striping and install remaining signs. Some shoulder closures and lane shifting may be in place to accommodate this work.

Blue circles denote four intersection improvements where Highway 40 meets 47000 West, a junction near 6000 South, 46000 West, and 45000 West.
