Important Announcements from UDOT - Hwy 89 and 750 North Project
This project is actually in Willard where you turn to go to the bay or get on the freeway. With all the accidents that have been involved with this intersection UDOT has a project planned to install a stoplight and turning lanes at 750 North and Hwy 89 in 2018. They will also be resurfacing Hwy 89. The final engineering is being completed and the project will be put out for bid. We are fast approaching road construction season all over!!!! Please use caution around construction and SLOW DOWN for the safety of construction workers.
School is just about over for the 2017-18 year, with that we need to be even more cautious with more kids out walking, riding and playing in the neighborhoods. Please take an extra minute to walk all the way around your vehicle looking for toys and children. Even if you don’t have kids yourself, children just don’t see the danger getting a ball out from under the car without help.
It is motorcycle riding time, with all the recent motorcycle deaths and accidents, we all need to be more aware of our driving habits. NO Distracted DRIVING, put the phone down. Look, Listen, Look Again!!! Nobody wants to be the one to hit someone riding a motorcycle, bike, person or even another vehicle. We are heading into the 100 most dangerous days, PLEASE leave early and be hyper vigilant in driving and being aware what’s going on around us.
