S.R. 12/S.R. 63 Roundabout Construction

The Utah Department of Transportation is constructing a new roundabout at the intersection of S.R. 12 and S.R. 63 in Bryce Canyon City.  The project is part of UDOT's effort to improve driver safety through reduced speeds, traffic calming, improved visibility, and navigation improvements.

Expected Traffic Impacts:

Travel delays should not exceed more than 5-10 minutes.  Please reduce speeds and adhere to all traffic controls/signage.  Flaggers and rumble strips will alert approaching drivers entering a circular roundabout configuration at the intersection.  Contractors will maintain access to nearby businesses.  Drivers should be prepared to travel over some areas of compacted dirt.  Be aware of increased dust around the area that may reduce visibility during construction. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

S.R. 12 Rehabilitation Resumes Next Week

Asphalt paving and safety enhancements will be suspended from the roundabout at S.R 12/S.R. 63 along a 15-mile stretch to Henrieville.

Expected Traffic Impacts:

Travel delays should not exceed more than 10 minutes.  Be prepared to stop for flaggers as alternating one-way traffic will be maintained in short increments during asphalt application between the passing project and the roundabout region.  A pilot car will be utilized to escort traffic past the construction area.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

S.R. 63 Rehabilitation in Bryce Canyon City Work

Asphalt paving and safety enhancements will resume from the roundabout at S.R 12/S.R. 63 along a 2-mile stretch through Bryce City.

Expected Traffic Impacts:

Travel delays should be minimal, as one lane of traffic will be maintained in both directions through most of this stretch of roadway.  This will close shoulders and occasionally far outside lanes.  In a few instances where lane availability is limited, one-way alternating traffic may be utilized in short distances.  Flaggers will be onsite to assist.
