Travelers can expect delays on Highway 40 in Fort Duchesne as crews are scheduled to begin work today on the bridge rehab. “This work will necessitate reducing the traffic to one lane only,” shares the Utah Department of Transportation. “Temporary traffic lights will be installed to stop traffic in both directions. Traffic movement over the bridge will be staggered to allow movement in both directions at 10 minute intervals.” According to project information officer Nathan Clark, anyone traveling will have a significant slow down while they work on the bridge. The bottleneck effect could back up traffic for miles and miles and locals should consider utilizing alternate routes. The work is expected to last approximately ten days.
