UDOT is ready to get back to work on Highway 40 construction projects. As early as Monday, March 29th, work will be getting underway and lasting into the fall. So what is in store for the Uintah Basin? The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will begin work to repair and preserve the Starvation Reservoir Bridge on Highway 40 in Duchesne County. “This scheduled bridge maintenance project will maximize the value of UDOT’s infrastructure investment,” shares UDOT. “Improvements will include renovating the parapet walls and resurfacing the concrete bridge deck to extend the life of the roadway. SR-35 and SR-208 are available as alternate routes to avoid construction.” There will be 15-30 minute travel delays possible and reduced speeds and lane closures in the construction area. Construction activity is anticipated Monday-Thursday 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Friday. Please remember that for your safety and the safety of those working in the area, please reduce speed, stay alert, and exercise caution through the work zone.
