PROJECT NUMBER:   UT FLAP 218(1)

PROJECT NAME :       Sheep Creek Loop

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The UT FLAP 218(1), Sheep Creek Geologic Loop Project is located on Highway 218 approximately 7 miles south of Manila, UT in Northeast Utah. The project crosses through private and Ashley National Forest (USFS) Lands, providing access to the Flaming Gorge-Uintas National Scenic Byway. The route is categorized as a rural recreational and scenic roadway in level terrain and is maintained by Dagget County. This project proposes reconstruction, widening, minor profile adjustments, guardrail replacement, and drainage improvements of 1.85 miles of roadway on the Sheep Creek Geologic Loop.

Major work elements include widening the roadway to a consistent width and vertical and horizontal alignment changes to correct roadway geometry and improve safety.  Construction will generally include cut slopes, embankment, aggregate base course, and paving. Improvements include clearing roadside vegetation, stabilization of shoulders, drainage improvements (including a concrete box culvert), cattleguard installation, pavement markings, and updating signing.  Select pullouts and access road intersections will also be rehabilitated or reconstructed.
