Marina Road Update

 

Weekly Construction Update - March 15, 2021 This week, crews are removing asphalt and excavating the roadway to prepare for the new asphalt. Traffic has been reduced to a single lane with an electronic temporary signal to manage traffic until the project is completed. It is important to follow these signal commands at all times and only proceed when the signal indicates that it is safe to do so. Please proceed through the construction area with caution during this time for your own safety and the safety of the crews working.

Project Overview

The current marina access off US 89 only allows nine vehicles with trailers to queue. After conducting an environmental study, UDOT has designed a dual-lane entrance accommodating vehicles from both directions into the marina and increasing the number of queuing vehicles from nine to 39. A new street-level pedestrian crossing with safety flashers will be installed at the overflow access road connecting to the multi-use trail for pedestrians to cross the road safely. Improvements to the marina facility that are beyond the scope of this project will be completed by the Division of State Parks and Recreation as funds become available.

Construction Impacts Drivers can expect the following during construction: ▪ Traffic has been reduced to a single lane with an electronic temporary signal near the Bear Lake Marina Access. The temporary signal will be in place for the duration of the project. ▪ Access to the marina will remain open at all times through the entrance / exit on the north side of the marina parking lot ▪ Construction work is anticipated to take place Monday - Friday from approximately 7 AM - 5 PM. Construction work is scheduled for Spring in order to minimize traffic impacts as much as possible.
