UDOT has begun working with landowners along Highway 40 in Gusher as they work to purchase additional property needed for upcoming roadway improvements. In addition to working with landowners, UDOT has been focused on roadway design and the right-of-way process is expected to be complete by mid-2019. “While the right-of-way process is underway,” shares a UDOT update, “the project team will continue working on finalizing the roadway design. UDOT plans to send the project out for contractor bids by fall 2019. Construction is scheduled during 2020.” An Open House on the project was held in September where input was received. “Several attendees suggested continuing the project west toward the river [but] UDOT is not able to include additional widening improvements west of 8500 East with this project,” shares the update. “UDOT has documented your concerns and will incorporate them into future U.S. 40 projects as they are developed and funded.” For more information on this or other UDOT projects, visit
