Construction delays have remained minimal on Highway 40 through the Myton Bench construction project but a new project could slow down your trip to and from the Wasatch Front. On July 25, the Utah Department of Transportation will begin construction on Highway 40 from Daniels Summit to Soldier Creek. The project is resurfacing the roadway with a chip seal coat to provide a smoother driving surface and extend the life of the pavement. Construction will take place during daylight hours Monday through Friday for four weeks and traffic will be reduced to one lane with a flagger or pilot car to guide the traffic. Delays of up to 15 minutes are anticipated and cyclists are urged to use alternative routes during the construction process. There will be some interruptions to businesses, residences and recreational areas. For updates and traffic alerts, visit www.udottraffic.utah.gov.
