U.S. 191 Over Colorado River Bridge
Location: North of Moab
Traffic Impact: Bridge construction is not expected to impact traffic. However, travelers should use caution in the area due to truck crossings. Pedestrians and cyclists using the Colorado Riverway Bridge should also stay clear of the staging area. Navigation on the Colorado River channel is also restricted due to the trestle bridge and pier work. Please do not stop on the existing bridge to take photographs. This impacts traffic and poses a safety hazard.
Project Schedule: Forming the deck above the southwest pier. Workers are constructing the pier table on Pier 3. A retaining wall is also being constructed on the southwest side. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2010.
Project Overview: This project replaces the U.S. 191 bridge spanning the Colorado River near Moab with a new bridge designed to current standards enhancing capacity and safety for motorists and pedestrians while complementing the surrounding environment. It will also include pedestrian and bike trail improvements, a turning lane at S.R. 128 and modifications to U.S. 191 where the bridge will connect with the existing highway.
