Bituminous pavement instead of concrete is being used on this section because of the type of subsurface material in the area. The bituminous pavement is more flexible and, therefore, more resistant to cracking when subsurface material shifts and settles. This project also includes some improvement to the intersection of US-8-9 and the connector road to the Sigurd Interchange. Installation of all highway directional signing will also be done. The contract allows 120 working days. It is expected to be complete and open to traffic by this fall. There will be some interference to the traffic when work is being done at the intersection. Discretionary Funds are being utilized on this project and will provide approximately 94 percent of the cost, with the state supplying the matching six percent. A state is eligible for Discretionary Funds only after it has obligated all other available highway funds. UDOTs ability to qualify for this additional funding allows work to continue on Interstate projects despite the inability of Congress to pass highway funding legislation.

Mike Young is pleased to announce that John McDonald present preliminary reports to the public on Friday, March 23, at 2 p.m. in the county commission chambers. The presentation will be in the form of a video report, maps, pictures, designs and words. The video report will present three scenarios, or hypothetical plans: first, a community economy based entirely on industry; second, a tourism and recreation community; and third, one based on historic preservation. Their purpose is to enhance Moabs own planning process, not to try to tell residents what they should do. They will accomplish this by stimulating discussion of positive and negative aspects of each scenarThe information and data underlying the study process will be explained so audience participants can make their own evaluations and recommendations for the planning process.
