The Utah Department of Transportation has provided an update on the Gusher Highway 40 construction project. “Crews finished excavation work in the current work area [last week] and will be building up the new roadway [this week],” shared UDOT. “Paving is anticipated to take place this coming Thursday and Friday, August 20th and 21st.” The Lapoint intersection is up next. “Reconstruction of the Lapoint intersection is ongoing and concrete work on the new box culvert will begin [this] week. Lapoint Highway traffic will continue to detour. There will be no impacts to east/west travel on Highway 40 during the intersection work.” Driveway access will be disrupted for homes between 9600 East/Cottonwood Road and 10197 East through early September. Ramps will be built as often as possible to accommodate residents.
