Utah Road Construction Projects

[econ2001]

As a local rider and commuter I though it would help if I gave a few pointers on Utah's notorious road construction projects. You can check the UDOT website at https://www.udot.utah.gov/knowwhereknowwhy/.

There are not many projects which will affect the rides created for WFO, but there are a few areas that may be a tad slow, luckily they are isolated and easy to get through.

** Provo Canyon is and has been under construction for as long as I remember. There is a 5 mile stretch that will slow you to 35 or so.

** The main highway into Provo Canyon (8th No. in Orem) is under construction and will effect the ride in and out of Provo Canyon to I-15. There a fewer lanes than normal, but not a problem as long as you are not there during rush hour.

** Rush hour is heaviest at 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. ** Avoid I-15 NB and SB out of SLC during this time. There is a diamond lane, but it can still be slow.

Highway patrol will generally not pull you over unless you are >10 over.

Drive safe and have fun. If you can, get down to highway 12 it is incredible.

Unfortunately I might have signed up to help a neighbor put in his yard. I saw your other post, are you riding hwy 31? Isn't that skyline drive through fairview canyon and electric lake? I would love to go if things don't go as planned. What time will you be leaving?

Temporary hijack. Please excuse.

Any chance one of you guys would take a look at my GPX or GDB files for the WFO trip? I have a big loop from DenverCO north into Canada and then down the west of the Rockies into Park City planned.

It would be truly great to give it a reality check from someone who knows the area.

PleeeeeZZZZZZZ
