UDOT installed a truck escape ramp on U.S. 89 in Logan Canyon, below the last hill before entering Garden City. The truck escape ramp uses an innovative design with a concrete chute to guide runaway trucks into cable restraints. When the runaway truck hit the cables, the cables will wrap around the vehicle, causing them to lose speed and stop.
Construction began in May 2020 and was completed by the end of September 2020.
