Website helps travelers navigate multiple construction zones
GetUsThere.org, a website providing construction information in the Roy Rogers Road area, has been created to inform travelers about possible delays or detours.
"All four jurisdictions are working together to minimize traffic impacts as much as possible," said Andrew Singelakis, director, LUT. "While the construction schedule is complex, the timing of these projects is critical."
Jurisdictions collaborated to schedule some of these projects concurrently to save taxpayer dollars and to minimize road construction impacts over time.
"We understand that road construction is inconvenient for everyone," Singelakis said. "The Roy Rogers area will be challenging for all of us. We encourage the public to visit
GetUsThere.org to get updates. We appreciate everyone's patience."
