TIMPANOGOS HIGHWAY (S.R. 92)
PROGRESS UPDATE

Traffic is flowing well on the new Timpanogos Highway (S.R. 92) mainline and drivers are already experiencing the benefits of a safer, improved roadway and interchange. UDOT continues to diligently work with the contractor to address all remaining known quality issues before accepting project completion. UDOT has a responsibility to taxpayers to not accept this project as complete until the contractor corrects any identified quality issues. By insisting that quality standards are met, UDOT is ensuring that the public gets what they paid for and that the road will last for decades to come.

Rest assured, UDOT continues to protect the taxpayer investment from additional costs by charging the contractor $15,000 a day in liquidated damages until the project reaches acceptable completion. With the remaining known work, this project could reach completion this summer.

UDOT continues to work with the contractor to limit lane closures that may be necessary to complete the remaining work to off-commute times and to isolate restrictions to areas only where they are performing work or inspections. Check the website often for updates on lane closures and other remaining work items.

The Timpanogos Highway project will bring a much-needed improvement over the previous roadway including more capacity, a smoother ride, better access to surrounding businesses and increased mobility options. With the addition of the DDI, not originally a part of the project, the interchange can now accommodate current and future traffic demands at I-15. Efficiency and commute times will also be improved with the commuter lanes, providing a no-stopping option for those traveling directly to and from I-15 from the eastern communities.
