UHP Urges Travel Safety

by | Jan 24, 2017 | News | 0 comments


Winter weather warnings and advisories remain in place and travelers are asked to reconsider travel plans until the storms have cleared. According to UHP Sgt. Kellie Oaks, UDOT has worked tirelessly to stay on top of the weather and the roads have been good but more snow is expected through the week. “We encourage people to stay home if they can,” shares Sgt. Oaks. “Otherwise, reduce speed, buckle up, and have necessary supplies in case you get stranded in a storm.” Heavy snow has caused significant travel delays at Strawberry Reservoir and Daniels Canyon. Highway 40 was restricted in some areas to vehicles with chains or 4 wheel drive and white out conditions existed on most roadways in Wasatch County on Monday. UDOT encourages all those traveling in the state to check the UDOT Traffic website at www.commuterlink.utah.gov before heading out the door.
