  • US-89-- TRAFFIC ALERT: Crews are currently milling on the east side of US-89 from W 6850 S to 700 S. Crews are currently installing storm drain systems from W Center St to 300 N. Concrete flat work including the installation of curb and gutter is occurring between 900 E to 700 S. Repairing soft spots and potholes from 500 N to 750 N. TRAFFIC ALERT: Northbound US-89 at the SR-126 and US-89 intersection in South Willard will close to through traffic from Monday, May 19, through summer 2025. Drivers should follow the posted detour. -- UDOT will construct improvements along US-89 from the US-89/SR-126 intersection to just south of Hargis Hill Road in Willard. These improvements will replace subgrade material (e.g., compacted gravel) and pavement which has reached its operational expectancy and become unstable. Additionally, much of the existing drainage along this section of US-89 will be upgraded to avoid pooling and roadway storm runoff (i.e., sheet flow) during stormy weather. This will extend the lifetime of the road, while creating a safer, more comfortable road for drivers.CAUTION
