US-91 Renewed; North Smithfield to Idaho
US-91 Renewed; North Smithfield to Idaho
Work on US-91 is now underway.
Upcoming Work Activities (as of 06/23/22):
- This week, crews have been working to excavate and repair sections of roadway that are considered "soft spots" - meaning portions of rough, spongy road caused by moisture accumulation below the surface.
- Today, crews are working to remove asphalt in uneven sections of the road, and apply what is called a "leveling course" in order to smooth it out.
- Next week, concrete work will begin, including reconstructing concrete manholes, pedestrian access ramps, curb, and gutter. We remind residents and pedestrians to not walk on newly-poured concrete, as it requires several days of cure time.
Work will typically take place between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Weekend work will take place on occasion when needed. Nearby businesses and residents should expect increased noise and vibration associated with construction during these hours.
*Schedule subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
Traffic Alerts:
- During work hours, motorists in the area can expect reduced speeds, intermittent lane shifts and lane closures, and moderate travel delays.
- Uneven lane conditions are possible outside of work hours.
Safety:
- For your safety and the safety of those working in the area, please use extra caution, reduce speeds, and follow all posted signs and signals. Barrels and other traffic control devices are placed to guide motorists safely through the work zone, and to protect the project team.
- Do not follow construction vehicles into the work zone.

Project Background:
The Utah Department of Transportation will conduct a project to resurface US-91 from North Smithfield to the Idaho border. Crews will place a new roadway surface, called a chip seal, along the entire corridor to improve the driving experience and extend the life of the pavement. The project is expected to reach completion by early-August 2022.
