Project Overview

We are improving nearly 5 miles of US-6 from Diamond Fork Road to the US-89 intersection (milepost 183 to 187). Crews are installing concrete median barriers to improve safety and prevent head-on collisions. Additionally, we are improving lighting along the corridor for enhanced visibility and making drainage improvements to keep water off the roadway. The road will be restricted to one lane in each direction at all times for the duration of the project.

Alert: Cattle drives along US-6 from Diamond Fork Road to Covered Bridge Drive will take place on several Thursdays throughout October, beginning on Thursday, October 2. Drivers should expect cattle along the shoulder of US-6 around midday. Utah Highway Patrol will be on site to assist.

Construction: Fall 2025

Construction began on August 11, 2025, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

Traffic control is in place to add rumple strips and temporary striping for about one mile of US-6 near the Diamond Fork Road intersection. Drivers can expect changes in traffic patterns, including lane shifts. Lane width is restricted to 12 feet. Wide loads should be coordinated with Motor Carriers. 

US-6 will be reduced to one lane in each direction for the duration of the project.
