Residents and commuters in Eagle Mountain should continue preparing for road work and traffic changes on the Mountain View Corridor extension and Pioneer Crossing.
Starting this week, contractors will continue utility trenching and excavation as part of the road widening and extension project, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
Key Updates and Impacts:
- Utility Work: Throughout this week and next, expect ongoing utility work, trenching, and excavation on 800 West (MVC extension). The project aims to enhance the road capacity and improve traffic flow.
- Traffic Changes on Pioneer Crossing: On Thursday, the dedicated westbound right-turn lane from Pioneer Crossing onto northbound Mountain View Corridor will be eliminated temporarily. Right-turn traffic will need to use the through lane, potentially causing congestion. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and allow extra travel time. This phase of work is expected to continue through the end of August.
- Safety Precautions: Motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists are urged to exercise caution in the construction zones. Follow all traffic controls and be vigilant for construction workers and equipment.
