Riverdale Road Upcoming Traffic Impacts

Date: June 9, 2009

NOTICE! TODAY SOUTHBOUND RIVERDALE ROAD WILL HAVE A LANE CLOSURE FROM LINCOLN AVENUE TO CHIMES VIEW. THIS IS TO ACCOMMODATE UTILITY REPLACEMENT! WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!

PHASE 2 - CONSTRUCTION FROM THE VIADUCT TO LINCOLN AVENUE UNDER WAY!

Orange barrels are appearing and electronic message boards broadcasting the arrival of construction on the second phase of the Riverdale Road rebuild.

Rocky Mountain Power, Questar, Riverdale City and South Ogden City are all making major utility replacements and/or relocations and the work is expected to take about two months or more. Current activities include surveying, trenching for the new pipelines, removal of trees to clear right of way, replacement and moving of power poles and the removal of old concrete and sidewalks. The heavy roadwork is anticipated to start approximately mid-summer.

By mid-June storm drains will be placed across the roadway and unlike like year, no steel plating is anticipated.

We expect some lane closures around the first part of June, but most of those will take place after dark.

Riverdale Road is a keystone transportation corridor, bridging communities in Weber County. Roadway, bridge and interchange improvements have long been anticipated by the community and will impact the future of transportation in the region.

Riverdale Road is one of the busiest non-freeways in Utah, servicing an annual daily average of 47,000 vehicles. The performance of the road impacts the vitality of its surrounding community in many ways:

  • The road is a major east-west thoroughfare linking western Weber County to downtown Ogden. The road travels through four cities from Roy through Riverdale and South Ogden to Ogden.
  • The road provides UTA with a public transit route that bridges many communities, and is less than a mile from the connecting point of two interstate freeways.
  • The dense commercial area lining Riverdale Road draws shoppers from throughout the Ogden/Weber region.
  • Riverdale Road links two halves of Riverdale City, with civic and recreational facilities, commercial and residential growth on both sides.

UDOT's Riverdale Road improvement project will reduce congestion and improve safety. UDOT has accelerated the construction schedule by hiring the contractor early. The contractor's involvement in the design phase and ability to perform advance work will reduce the duration of construction by several months. The benefits of the project to motorists, businesses and other stakeholders will include:

  • Increasing the corridor's capacity to handle traffic by 35%, which is expected to accommodate traffic through 2030.
  • Reducing travel time through the corridor by 25%.
  • Reducing average traffic delays at intersections by 40% through 2030.
  • Providing safe and efficient access to all businesses and properties.
  • Minimizing delays of future pavement, bridge, and/or utility maintenance.
  • Increasing safety and traffic flow by decreasing vehicle conflicts.
