Deer Creek Reservoir PSA - kastmaster - 10-14-2025
From UDOT:
Construction begins Monday night on a two-year project to widen U.S. 189 to two lanes in each direction near Deer Creek Reservoir.
The roadway between Wallsburg and the northeast end of Deer Creek will be reduced to a single lane between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weeknights, 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. Saturdays and 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. Sundays while flaggers guide drivers through one-way alternating traffic, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
Plan your trips to the Berry and other lakes for those coming from Utah County accordingly. So much for early morning ice fishing trips

Thanks for the heads up!

I checked with UDOT for details and this closure shows just until November 7 for rockfall protection so hopefully it's not every night for the next 2 years!
"Traffic Alerts: Nighttime delays for one-way traffic with flaggers to install rockfall protection barrier: Oct. 13 to Nov. 7, between Rainbow Bay and Island Beach, weeknights 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., Saturdays 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., and Sundays 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. Traffic may be stopped up to 15 minutes at a time to allow cars to pass."
Here's a little more info from UDOT:
Overview: Fall 2025-Fall 2027, the US-189 Wallsburg to Charleston widening project will build two additional travel lanes on this section of US-189, install a new traffic signal at the intersection of US-189 & SR-113, and improve access and parking at the Island Beach day use area. When finished, US-189 will have two travel lanes in each direction from Provo to Heber City, reducing congestion and increasing safety for all drivers.

Kent, I have confidence that they can have it wrapped up well before 5:00 PM that day, maybe even by 3:30 or 4:00!
