The contractor, Granite Construction Company, is placing drainage pipes at several locations across the highway. This week, November 22-27, crews will work Monday through Wednesday only, in observance of the Thanksgiving Day holiday. The regular work schedule will resume on Monday, November 29. Approximately 300 feet of US-40 is impacted each day, as crews move throughout the project placing a total of 20 pipes.
Excavation also continues throughout the project limits.
Impacts to traffic are minimal, but motorists are advised to watch for construction trucks entering and exiting the work sites. Please drive through the work area with caution . Expect delays during the one-way traffic operations, particularly during the morning and evenute commutes. Watch for flaggers, and prepare to stop at either end of the work site. Construction began in September to widen 3.5 miles of US-40 from the north Heber City limits to Midway Junction.
