Bridge Replacement north of Austin

Traffic north of Austin on Utah State Route 118 is limited to one lane as crews are working to replace a bridge. The new bridge will be a single span using a pre-stressed concrete slab 63-feet long by 44-feet wide. In the early phases of the project the contractor — W.W. Clyde — relocated water lines and built a bypass road at the bridge where SR 118 crosses over the Sevier River. This is so traffic can still travel through the area as the bridge is torn down and replaced. The project is approximately a $3 million investment in the road’s infrastructure. Richfield Reaper
