Wyatt Woolley, UDOT's region three spokesperson, discusses the Heber Valley Bypass decision, with two alternatives (A and B) to be finalized in a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on Jan. 7.
A 60-day public comment period will follow, with a virtual meeting on Jan. 27-28. Woolley emphasizes the importance of detailed feedback. The project, expected to cost over half a billion dollars, is funded primarily by state legislature taxpayer dollars.
The US-189 widening project is on track, with significant excavation and blasting required. Future projects include widening from US-40 to the hospital and a new traffic light.
Public updates are available on the UDOT Heber Valley projects website.
