US89 a UDOT Site

U.S. 89 construction is anticipated to begin spring 2020 and extend through 2023. The project will fully reconstruct and widen U.S. 89 to 6 lanes between Main Street in Kaysville and S.R.193 in Layton. The project will also build two bridges and four interchanges over U.S. 89, extend the frontage road system and add a new 3-mile extension of Gordon Avenue to connect with U.S. 89.

EARLY WORK

Preparatory work began in January and includes setup of a construction yard inside the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) property on the west side of 200 North/400 North in Fruit Heights. In order to streamline construction, utility relocation will occur in advance of work on the mainline of U.S. 89. There are 35 different utility owners on or next to U.S. 89 and the project team will relocate over 150 miles of utilities to facilitate project construction.

During early work, motorists can expect shoulder or lane closures on the frontage roads and/or side streets during non-commute times. No impacts to U.S. 89 traffic are anticipated until later in the spring.

CONSTRUCTION IMPACTS

Work is ongoing on the frontage roads and shoulders of U.S. 89. Activities include a significant amount of utility relocation, storm drain installation, building demolition and earthwork. The following traffic impacts are associated with these activities:

OAK HILLS DRIVE AREA: One-way traffic operations will be in effect on Eastside Drive from approximately Adams Canyon to South Village Lane for several weeks. Please pay attention to signal and yield to oncoming traffic.

200 NORTH/400 NORTH AREA:

Trucks are hauling dirt from north to south near 200 North/400 North in Fruit Heights and entering/exiting U.S. 89 at various locations. Please be aware, slow down and move over when you see a truck entering the highway. Please do not follow trucks into the work zone.
Haul routes and flagging operations to cross 400 North in Fruit Heights may be implemented in April.
In late March or early April, a temporary signal will be installed on Mountain Road just north of Terrace Drive and the access to 200 North/400 North. This signal will allow one lane of traffic on Mountain Road at a time.

We are committed to building this project the right way by balancing the needs of the traveling public with impacts to the surrounding community. Safety and mobility for all parties during construction are priorities to UDOT and the project team.

TRAFFIC IMPACTS

Throughout construction, two lanes will be maintained in each direction on U.S. 89 during peak travel times. Nighttime and Sunday daytime lane closures are planned. Work will occur around the clock to reduce the overall project duration.

ACCESS

Many of the existing side streets accesses will be permanently closed and traffic rerouted to the interchanges to access U.S. 89. These access points will remain open until the nearest alternate access points are complete. Temporary access will be maintained for properties with direct access to/from U.S. 89.

PROPERTY ACQUISITION

The project team continues to coordinate with affected property owners. All impacted properties and full acquisitions have been identified and the team is working through the list in order of location and construction priority. If you are a property owner on or near U.S. 89, and have not yet been contacted, feel free to contact us. The project design map also details planned impacts to properties and you can also learn more about the overall property acquisition process here.
