Work on state Route 248 will start on Tuesday, impacting US 40 travelers driving to and from Park City.
The eastbound lane will be getting a new transit shoulder lane, giving buses the ability to sidestep traffic like the westbound lane.
The city government project also entails reducing lane widths in some areas as a traffic calming measure, and fixing damage from the heavy snow this past winter.
The construction is scheduled to last through mid-September, meaning it’ll affect Park City School District traffic when students return in August.
Drivers can expect 5- to 10-minute delays when traveling the full length of the state Route 248 corridor. One lane of traffic in each direction will be open throughout the duration of the project.
An open house for Prospector residents to learn about the project is Wednesday, July 26, at Prospector Park from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
