Suggested alternate routes between 1-15 and U.S." 89 include: (Southbound) U.S. 50 and 1-70, and (Northbound) State Routes 59, 9, 14, and 143. Construction on S.R. 20 will continue through November with a chip-seal coat to be applied in the spring of 2004. Night closures (7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Monday through Thursday) will allow contractors to complete the project in one construction season instead of two. Motorists should also expect delays of up to 30 minutes during dur-ing the day. The $13 million project will widen S.R. 20 from 25 feet to 32 feet, fence the UDOT right-of-way, install cattle underpasses, straighten curves, improve grades, and provide passing lanes in three locations. The project is funded under the Centennial Highway Endowment Fund that was created cre-ated by the Utah State Legislature in 1997. Ames Construction, Inc. has established a public inquiry telephone tele-phone . line and answering machine at 435-616-2500. UDOT encourages motorists . to use caution and travel at the posted speed limits while driving driv-ing through construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather, weath-er, equipment problems or emergency emer-gency situations. |
