UDOT recommends drivers plan ahead for travel delays along the Wasatch Front this Friday and Monday due to heavy traffic for the Labor Day weekend. Drivers traveling south from Salt Lake County through Nephi could encounter 40-minute delays, according to UDOT spokesperson John Gleason.

On Monday afternoon, 30-minute delays are expected for people traveling US-6, westbound, in Spanish Fork Canyon from 1-8 p.m.

Across the state, most UDOT projects will suspend construction and open all lanes to traffic to help reduce delays during the holiday weekend. Restrictions will continue through the weekend where needed to ensure safety or accommodate ongoing construction.

Drivers should plan for construction conditions including traffic restrictions, reduced speeds, uneven pavement, and narrow or shifting lanes on US-40 north of Heber City. Eastbound US-40 is reduced to one lane north of Heber City near Jordanelle Reservoir.

Drivers should expect heavy truck traffic and travel delays, especially on Friday afternoon. Crews are completing maintenance work on the concrete pavement in the area and replacing the driving surfaces of the bridges over the Provo River.

Construction schedules are weather-dependent and subject to change. For the latest information on traffic restrictions during construction, visit the UDOT Traffic website or download the UDOT Traffic app for iPhone or Android.
