300 South Improved
The roadway between University Avenue and 500 West will be reconstructed in a similar layout as previous projects on U.S. 89 in Provo have done. This will improve the roadway and underground infrastructure while providing better transportation options for all kinds of road users.
Project Activities*:
300 South will be CLOSED to through traffic between Freedom Boulevard (200 West) and University Avenue from Monday, July 1 through Wednesday, July 3 at 6 a.m. while crews install new storm drain crossings underneath 300 South.
- Through traffic should use alternate routes. (see map below). Pedestrian access will be maintained.
- During this closure, crews will also work at night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. to shorten the duration of this closure. Residential access will be maintained. Residents can expect open trenching and intermittent access limitations during this work, as well as increased nighttime noise, light, and work vehicles. Impacted properties have been notified.
*schedule is subject to change due to weather, material availability, etc.
Impacts:
Homeowners can expect open trenching and intermittent access limitations during this work. One lane in each direction will be open on 300 South. Work will take place Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. unless noted.
- Replacing 300 South asphalt with concrete pavement
- Upgrading the roadway drainage system with storm drain, curb and gutter
- Replacing aged underground utilities including sewer and culinary water
- Adding new pedestrian/bicycle crosswalks in several locations

- Reconstructing driveway approaches
- Adding on-street bicycle lanes
- Installing "bump-outs" on 400 West to reduce the crossing distance at intersections without painted crosswalks
- Installing raised medians between blocks to improve safety
