PROJECT DETAILS:  UT FLAP 149(1), State Route 149 Widening

The proposed project includes rehabilitate and widening of a portion of Utah State Highway 149 near Jensen, UT from milepost 0.05 near US40 to milepost 4.2, the Dinosaur National Monument boundary, for a total length of about 4.17 miles. The project includes replacing the bridge that spans Brush Creek at MP 2.7. 

The proposed typical section consists of widening from about 24 feet to a 32‐foot typical section, consisting of two 12‐foot travel lanes and 4‐foot paved shoulders. Roadway improvements include 3.5 inches of new asphalt concrete, embankments, retaining structures, drainage improvements, and safety improvements.  Bridge reconstruction will consist of removing the existing 35-foot clear span length, 34 foot outside width, concrete bridge constructed in 1954 with a 60-foot clear span, 36 foot outside width, precast prestressed adjacent box beams structure with spill through type abutments founded on driven piles.

SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES: 16,000 cuyd of embankment construction, 14,500 ton of roadway aggregate, 4.17 miles of full depth pavement reclamation (6 to 9 inches), 16,800 ton of asphalt concrete pavement (gyratory mix), 240 cuyd structural concrete, 640 lnft precast prestressed concrete slabs (48 inch voided).

No extended closures are allowed since the route is a main access for residences and National Monument visitors.  The bridge will be built under phased construction, maintaining one lane of traffic at all times. In addition, bridge removal must occur during non-nesting season for Cliff Swallows (approximately September 1 to March 30).  No night work will be allowed. 

It is anticipated this project will be advertised in July, 2017 with the Notice to Proceed being issued in September, 2017.  Construction is anticipated between October 2017 and May 2018 while farmland irrigation water is turned off.   Estimated total cost is $6 to $8 million.
