UDOT Heads Project to Improve Saratoga Springs Roadway

By Chuck Harvey CEG CORRESPONDENT

Utah Department of Transportation is heading a project to widen the roadway, reduce congestion and improve driving conditions on busy Redwood Road (SR68) south of Pioneer Crossing in Saratoga Springs, Utah.

Improvements also will be made at Pony Express Parkway and Grandview Boulevard intersections. Revenue for the project, known as Redwood Road Improved, is provided primarily through federal funds.

Construction on the two-phased project is expected to wrap up in late 2018. The cost of construction

is $6.8 million.

The second phase of the project is scheduled for 2018. The cost of construction for the second phase has not been set, however, the funding total for the two-phased project is estimated at $19.9 million, which is equal to the project value.

Improvements slated for 2018 under phase 2 include the east-west continuous-flow intersection at Pioneer Crossing; road widening from three to five lanes on Redwood Road from Lake View Terrace Road to Village Parkway; the new traffic signals at Ring Road and Stillwater Drive; a new pedestrian trail on Redwood Road from Pioneer Crossing to 400

Biggest Challenge Redwood Road Improved is running on schedule and at budget. But getting the project rolling was not easy for

the Utah Department of Transportation.

Obtaining right-of-way for road widening was a difficult process, as it required removal of some residential landscaping.

“We have worked closely with homeowners’ associations to address property impacts and concerns about landscaping,” said Eileen Barron region 3 communications manager. “The look and feel of the corridor is important to the community, so we are working closely with the city and residents to restore landscaping and other features disturbed by the widening.”

UDOT officials made sure restoration work complied with homeowners’ association rules, approvals and timelines.

That made development of construction schedules more difficult.

Also, addressing green space and landscaping along the corridor has been a key concern for the city and required extensive coordination.

Growth Necessitates Widening “Saratoga Springs is experiencing tremendous growth,” Barron said. “Widening Redwood road see UDOT page 8

UTA Board of Trustees Approves 2018 Tentative Budget UTA is investing in the future while ensuring that riders have a reliable, affordable transportation system today, Jerry Benson, UTA president/CEO, told the UTA Board of Trustees in a recent presentation of the 2018 tentative budget. This year’s budget includes a new UTA department tasked with developing innovative transportation solutions. It also includes more bus service, improved security features and maintenance projects designed to keep the system in good repair.

“People want more and better transit,” Benson said. “This budget tries to address, to the extent we can, opportunities to improve our service for our customers."

The UTA Board of Trustees approved the tentative budget. UTA is now preparing to gather public feedback on the budget before it goes before the board for final approval in the December meeting. The public feedback period began Nov. 1 and ends on Nov. 30. Individuals and organizations can comment online, by mail or phone.

In 2018, UTA plans to create an innovative mobility solutions office to evaluate new transit concepts and technology and develop forward-thinking pilot programs. Benson said this program will help UTA capitalize on trends shaping the public transit industry, such as autonomous vehicles, electric vehi-

cles, vehicle sharing and transportation voucher programs.

“I appreciate the focus on innovations and technology and always looking at opportunities to create efficiencies within the system,” said Charles Henderson, UTA board of trustees member.

The budget also includes the new Provo Orem TRIP bus rapid transit (BRT) line, which will begin service in August 2018, seven months ahead of schedule. The line will run on a 10.5-mi. route through Provo and Orem, providing riders with a convenient connection to BYU and UVU, shopping centers and other major community destinations.

Recent increases in property costs and construction expenses have impacted public and private projects across the state, Benson said, including the BRT line. Although expenses related to the BRT project have increased by 6.8 percent, UTA is still on track to complete the project in time for the start of the 2018 school year. College students will be able to start the school year carfree and still be able to reach key destinations throughout the community, Benson said.

“It’s an early opening, and it’s going to make a big, big difference to those students,” he said.

UTA also plans to use Prop 1 funds to

increase bus service in Weber and Davis counties by 6 percent. Bus service systemwide will increase by 3 percent.

Directional signage, known as wayfinding signs, will be improved to help riders better navigate the rail and bus system and reach their final destinations. The agency also will add security cameras on TRAX to help improve system safety.

Vehicle and system maintenance is also a priority in the 2018 Tentative Budget. UTA plans to replace sections of TRAX rail to ensure that the 15-year-old system remains in top operating condition. The agency plans to add 29 new buses, two trolley-style buses, 29 paratransit vehicles and 75 vans to ensure that the fleet is ready to meet the demands of increased service. UTA also plans to purchase its first all-electric buses in 2018.

UTA’s budget priorities are set based on strategic priorities created by the board and a guiding set of priorities referred to as UTA’s True Norths: service, people, environment, community and stewardship.

This year’s budget expenses include bus service additions and early debt retirement contributions to pay down existing bonds. New bonding, planned since 2010, will be used solely for capital expenses on projects like Provo Orem TRIP, the Airport TRAX Station

relocation and major system repair projects.

Benson said bonding will allow UTA to continue essential capital maintenance work and honor contractual commitments, while also increasing service levels, maintaining existing service and keeping equipment in good repair.

“We think it’s a prudent measure on our part,” Benson said. “As we look at our longterm financial plan, we want to make sure we don’t offer services to the public only to pull them back a few years later because the funding isn’t there.”

UTA has seen the cost of everything from office supplies and utilities to bus tires and locomotive engines increase in recent years, Benson said, adding that the agency is examining ways to reduce costs and minimize the impact of this regional inflation. Some initiatives, like a plan to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by conducting rail maintenance in-house, are already under way.

“As we developed this budget, we challenged every department head to find ways to reduce costs,” he said. “There are dozens of these [cost-saving measures] embedded in the budget.”

Foam-Control EPS Geofoam Solves High Altitude Construction Challenges Decades in the making, The Summit is a new 23,000-sq. ft. glass-enclosed guest services center perched on the highest peak at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort in Utah.

Through thoughtful design and construction, project leaders GSBS Architecture and Layton Construction solved soil stability challenges at 11,000 ft. using ACH Foam Technologies’ Foam-Control geofoam.

Heavy materials and equipment had to be carefully hauled up the mountain on winding maintenance roads, while manpower was transported on the resort’s cable tram. The tram climbs 1.6 mi. and 2,900 vertical ft. to arrive at the anchor structure on top of the mountain. Site excavation for The Summit uncovered the tram structure’s vulnerable CMU block foundation. Lightweight Foam-Control geofoam provided a quick and easy protective structural barrier for the foundation.

“We didn’t want any additional loading in the form of settlement to be added to the tram’s foundation walls as the result of the new building,” said Tang Yang, principal with GSBS Architecture. “We developed a structural barrier between the foundations by filling the void with EPS geofoam blocks from ACH Foam Technologies. EPS geofoam is a lightweight material with high compressive strengths and predictable performance.”

While architects and engineers take comfort in ACH

Foam Technologies’ Foam-Control geofoam’s performance, builders like Layton often find it to be particularly well-suited to difficult circumstances where a lightweight structural fill is needed.

“ACH Foam developed shop drawings for the geofoam block configuration,” said Cooper Darling, Layton Construction assistant project manager. “Once the geofoam was on the top, it was surprisingly easy to work with.”

Darling also remarked that the blocks were moved into place by hand with just two laborers. His team used a hot wire cutter to customize blocks as needed. Once the FoamControl geofoam was put in place it was covered with 4 in. of free draining gravel and a concrete patio slab.

High atop Hidden Peak, The Summit is welcoming guests year-round. Four hundred seats of cafeteria-style dining, service areas, ski patrol offices, and a large wraparound deck allow visitors to enjoy views of the Wasatch Range and Mineral Basin below from both inside and out.

“Special considerations require special products,” said Yang. “This was a special project for all of us for many reasons and ACH Foam Technologies played a part in realizing this dream.”

UDOT Provides Updates for 2000 West Reconstruction Utility Shutoffs Utility companies may schedule intermittent shutoffs to accomplish their work. They will provide advance notice where applicable.

Segment One of the 2000 West Reconstruction project, which is the east side of the road between 700 South and SR-193, is completed and open to traffic. This segment was expedited in order to ensure that the work in front of Syracuse High School, would be completed prior to the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. Work is now taking place on the west side of the roadway, which is planned for completion by the end of the year.

Project Overview SR-108, also known as 2000 West, is a very busy north-south highway in Davis County, carrying as many as 18,000 vehicles per day. With the expected growth in population, homes, and jobs, this number is expected to double by 2040.

To address this need, UDOT conducted an environmental study from 2006 to 2008 to evaluate various transportation options.

Through careful analysis and close coordination with the communities, a solution was identified that met the transportation need while minimizing impacts.

The proposed solution was to widen the roadway to two lanes in each direction with a center turn lane. In compliance with federal law, an alignment was selected that avoided impacts as much as possible to historic properties. When the environmental study was completed in 2008, UDOT did not have the funding to build the entire scope of the 9-mi. project. To provide some benefit to traffic until funding

could be provided, the road was widened in 2009 to provide a center turn lane. The full scope of the project would be completed at some point in the future.

In April of 2015, UDOT secured funding for a 2-mi. segment of the project from Syracuse Road to 300 North in West Point. UDOT looks forward to this opportunity to serve its communities by providing improved transportation and increased safety for all who travel and live around the SR-108 corridor.

Recent activities include: • Concrete paving and cure time of curb, gutter, driveways and sidewalk on the west side of 2000 West from 700 South to SR-193.

• Pedestrian ramps and sidewalk were installed south of 700 South and the area between 700 South and SR-193.

• Landscaping crews will be working between 300 North and 700 South through November, including installation of top soil, sprinklers, sod and mailboxes.

• Culinary water, storm drain and sewer work continues on the west side of 2000 West from Heritage Parkway to the 300 North intersection through November.

Street light boxes and traffic signal foundations also are being installed throughout that area.

• West Point City waterline work continues to take place at the 300 North intersection with addi-

tional utility work in the area through winter 2018.

• Asphalt tie-in work will take place in intermittent locations along the 2000 West corridor from 300 North to Heritage Parkway.

• North Davis Sewer District has resumed their work north of the 300 North intersection.

• Utility companies continue working throughout the project area between Antelope Drive and 300 North.

Pedestrian Crosswalk, Sidewalk Please be aware of pedestrian crossings and sidewalk closures on the west side of the 700 South/2000 West intersection.

UDOT SR-193 Extension Project The UDOT SR-193 Extension Project continues construction activities with project completion scheduled for early December.

Concrete paving is now completed, except for the tie-in at 2000 West. Crews are working on that tie-in at the intersection during the next couple of weeks. Following that, the asphalt side of the intersection will need to be reconstructed as well. The road is expected to open to traffic in late-December.

Roadway signs have been installed and pavement striping is under way. Noise wall installation began Nov. 13, and should take about three weeks to complete.

Nearby residents and businesses should expect increased noise, light, and vibration associated with construction.

and improving intersections will help people get where they want to go, saving time and improving quality of life.”

Redwood Road is the main north-south corridor south of Pioneer Crossing and is in a busy part of Saratoga Springs. It will be widened from three to five lanes to reduce congestion and extend the life of the roadway.

Along with widening the road, crews will add traffic signals at the intersections to improve access to Redwood Road. Crews also will construct a new east-west continuous flow intersection at Pioneer Crossing.

A continuous flow intersection, also known as a displaced left turn, is an at-grade intersection that allows opposing left-hand turns and through traffic to occur at the same time with one signal. Lefthand turns are made possible by moving the left-turn lanes to the far-left side of the roadway beyond opposing traffic.

Workers will resurface Redwood Road from 400 South to mile post 17, about 7 mi. south of the Saratoga Springs city limits, and install new traffic signals at Ring Road and Stillwater Drive.

Pedestrians and bicyclists will see improved trail connections, designated bike lanes on Redwood Road and a bike-specific signal at Pony Express Parkway.

Granite Construction Co. Is Contractor for Phase 1 Granite Construction Co. was awarded the job in June of this year following a bid process and began construction on July 17.

Granite is one of the nation’s largest infrastructure contractors and construction materials producers, specializing in complex infrastructure projects, including transportation, industrial and federal contracting.

During the remainder of 2017, Granite Construction and its subcontractors will widen Redwood Road from three to five lanes from 400 South to Lake View Terrace Road, construct dual left-turn lanes at Grandview Boulevard., surface the roadway from Village Parkway South for about 10 mi., and extend bike lanes on Redwood Road from 400 South to Lake View Terrace Road.

Subcontractors Major subcontractors on the job include SCI (Sorensen Companies Inc.) of Syracuse, Utah; MC Contractors of Kamas, Utah; Romero Construction Inc. of Willard, Utah and IMS Masonry of Lindon, Utah. Between six and 14 workers are on the job daily.

Major construction has been focused on Grandview Boulevard, Lake View Terrace Road and Village Parkway South. At Grandview Boulevard and Lake View Terrace Road, traffic has

been shifted to the middle lanes while crews reconstruct the outer lanes and install curb and gutter.

Steel plates have been placed over the utility manholes to allow the concrete collars time to cure.

Sidewalks have been removed on Grandview Boulevard from Lake View Terrace Road to Redwood Road.

Sidewalks will be reconstructed along with the remainder of the roadway.

In mid-September, crews began micro-surfacing of a 10-mi. stretch of Village Parkway South.

Micro-surfacing adds a thin protective layer to the newly paved road. It extends the life of the roadway and provides a smooth driving surface.

During the paving operations, motorists can expect uneven lanes, reduced speed limits, one-way flagging, traffic stops and delays in the Village Parkway South area.

Other jobs that began in midSeptember include shoulder grading adjacent to the paved roadway; pavement marking and striping; asphalt removal and paving south of Harbor Parkway; asphalt paving on widened shoulders and drainage work.

Construction crews are on the job from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The night schedule is from 6 p.m. Sunday through Friday and Saturdays as needed. see UDOT page 10

Honeyville I-15 Bridge Demolition Work Under Way Jacobsen Construction photo

The ceremony for the $37-million-dollar Special Forces Readiness Center took place on Oct. 18 at Camp Williams.

Utah National Guard Breaks Ground on $37M Special Forces Readiness Center RIVERTON, Utah (AP) The Utah National Guard has broken ground on a new facility.

The ceremony for the $37-million-dollar Special Forces Readiness Center took place on Oct. 18 at Camp Williams.

The facility will be for the Utah National Guard’s elite 19th Special Forces Group, an elite division of the Army National Guard.

A Utah National Guard news release said the 140,000

sq.-ft. (13,006-sq-m) headquarters will hold classrooms, large training and operations spaces and offices.

The facility is scheduled to be completed by 2019.

Officials said the new training headquarters has been planned for a decade. The contractor is Jacobsen Construction from Salt Lake City.

The Utah Department of Transportation advises that the bridge over I-15, at the Honeyville (SR-240) Interchange in Box Elder County, closed Nov. 13, and east/west traffic on SR-240 will be embargoed until next spring.

SR-240 over I-15, between the on- and off-ramps, closed on Nov. 13 at 8 a.m. and will remain closed until April 2018, while crews begin work to demolish the existing bridge and rebuild a new one in its place. This closure blocks east-west access over I-15 through the duration of the project.

During this demolition work, the interstate ramps remain open and vehicles wishing to cross east-west over I-15 are being detoured to the interchanges to the north (Exit 376, Tremonton/Garland) and south (Exit 365, 900 North).

In order to safely demolish the bridge, UDOT temporarily closed all lanes on I-15 and diverted the interstate traffic around the demolition area via the Honeyville Interchange off- and on-ramps. The demolition took place Nov. 14 and 15.
