Fiber Optics Construction Update

 

Construction Update | August 14, 2025

Upcoming Construction Activities

Crews will continue trenching for fiber conduit installation in the traffic lanes at the following locations:

  • Milepost (MP) 462.5 to 464.5 (near Canyon Rd and Canyon Entrance Park)
  • MP 470 to 472 (near Right Hand Fork)


This work includes rock saw excavation, allowing for precise material removal with minimal impact to surrounding structures. Please drive with caution through the work zones. Impact to travel will be minimal near Canyon Entrance Park, but traffic will occasionally have to stop for 5 minutes for machinery maintenance.


Drivers can anticipate heavy traffic delays and signalized one-way traffic at one location throughout the project area.

Crews trenching along US-89.

CAUTION: Motorcycle, Cyclists, and Drivers

There are trenches, uneven road surfaces, and loose gravel throughout the corridor. Please use caution and prioritize safety while travelling through the construction area. Reduce speed, follow posted signage, and be alert of crew members and equipment.

Project Overview

UDOT is installing fiber optic cable in Logan Canyon. This fiber optic cable installation will improve broadband access in Logan Canyon, allowing for easier and more reliable community connection for Logan City, Garden City, and Beaver Mountain Resort. It will also strengthen and enhance communication capabilities, strengthen emergency service support, and create opportunities for these communities to expand services and improve connectivity. To learn more, view the Project Video.


Work began in early May and will be completed in fall 2026.*
