PROJECT NUMBER: UT FLAP 70131(1)

PROJECT NAME: Strawberry Sheep Creek

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Strawberry Sheep Creek connector is a 31.9 mile route that connects US-6 to US-40 through the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS) in both, Utah and Wasatch Counties, and includes Sheep Creek - Rays Valley Road (FR70051), Unicorn Ridge - Indian Creek Road (FR70042), and West Side Strawberry Road (FR70131).

The base Schedule A consists of road widening, reconstruction, asphalt surfacing, drainage, and safety improvements to the unpaved 12.24 miles of Unicorn Ridge-Indian Creek Road (FR70042) between the intersections with Sheep Creek - Rays Valley Road (FR70051) and West Side Strawberry Road (FR70131). Major work elements for Schedule A 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, rockery/rock embankment slope treatments, reinforced soil slopes, aggregate base course, and paving. Improvements include clearing roadside vegetation, stabilization of shoulders, drainage improvements, pavement markings, and updating signing. Select pullouts and access road intersections will also be rehabilitated.
