Rockville Construction Update

SR-9 Rockville Paving

Planned Activities:
  • Mainline SR-9 asphalt removal and replacement is now occurring through late March.
    • Expect an increase in noise, vibration, and construction activity. 
  • Work hours will be extended during paving operations to maximize the equipment and project schedule. Work will begin at 7:00 a.m. and may extend as late as 9:00 p.m. until paving is complete.
  • Please help us complete this activity on-schedule. We respectfully ask residents not to park on SR-9 between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. from March 6-20.
  • Special equipment will be used to remove the asphalt near the edge of the rock ditches in Rockville without disturbing them. 
  • Final activities following paving in late March include final lane striping and raising manhole lids. 
    • The lids require a concrete collar to hold the manhole in place. Metal plates will be placed over the lids once the concrete is placed to allow it time to cure - typically 3-5 days. These plates can rattle and create additional noise. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The plates will be removed as soon as the concrete is cured.
Project Description: 
The section of SR-9 between the entrance to Rockville and just south of the Majestic View Lodge will be resurfaced and some of the shoulders will be widened between January and April 2017. 

Impacts:
Construction has been scheduled to occur during the lowest park visitation season and remains on schedule to complete by April 2017.  No work is occurring on weekends. UDOT will maintain one lane of traffic at all times, to be controlled with flaggers and/or a pilot car. Delays of up to 15 minutes can be anticipated. 

Springdale Design Update 


Impacts to Private Property:  Design has now progressed to the point that the team is identifying potential impacts to private property.  UDOT is working to keep the project improvements within the existing UDOT right-of-way whenever possible and impacts to private property are expected to be minimal. UDOT will primarily be seeking temporary construction easements but some minor property acquisition may also occur. 

Underground Power:  UDOT and Springdale Town are working together to put existing overhead power lines underground in some areas as part of the project. This change in the project design will require some additional private property and easements be purchased. Locations are still being finalized. 

Concerns? The project team will be in contact with impacted property owners as the impacts are confirmed. If you have concerns about your property, please feel free to contact us any time.
