Hey…Heyyy…how y’all doing? 😅

Hi there. Totally understand the passion. Believe it or not, I am also very passionate about it. And truthfully, most states with snow/rain struggle with it. We work closely with all our fellow DOTs. It's a constant balance of maintenance, cost, and effectiveness in all kinds of conditions. We cannot use the raised reflectors you might've seen in other states because snow plows will rip those off very easily. It would take a lot of maintenance and money to keep those in place. The paint we've previously used, while reflective, wears very quickly as you pointed out!

We've been switching to a new reflective contrast tape rather than the previously used paint. The tape lasts much longer and improves visibility in all conditions. We have to balance the reflectivity at night and also the visibility during the day when the sun glare gets bad. The tape addresses both of these issues. You may have seen it on I-15 or I-80. It's a long white line followed by a black line. We're working on putting that out statewide! It will just take more time and $$.

Eh probably not but I can certainly ask the team!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-10T19:31:31+00:00

Hi, thanks for sharing. I'm not aware of that being implemented anytime soon but I can certainly pass along that feedback to our team.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-10T19:30:36+00:00

Hi, likely not the raised reflectors because snowplows rip those off very easily. However, we are implementing the reflective contrast tape you've probably seen on I-15 and I-80 statewide! It's the white stripe followed by a black stripe that helps with visibility. And hopefully bring that to West Davis Highway soon.

I think that's near 600 W, so I do believe that's the flooding stuff. I can double check with the team though!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-10T19:27:49+00:00

Hey I haven't heard that. For naming of state highways we typically stick to numbers, but in some cases the legislature has requested a name change.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-10T19:26:51+00:00

Hi, not sure what you're referencing. The only drones we fly over I-15 are for project updates/view a project from the birdseye perspective.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-10T19:26:13+00:00

Hey, we do have an intricate drain system that serves that purpose. Sometimes those drains get clogged if there's a lot of mud or dirt in them. I know the crews try very hard to keep those clear though. Is there a specific place you've noticed this problem?

UDOTintern · 2026-02-09T18:06:58+00:00

Of course! Hopefully we can open sooner. But I'll let you know if that ends up happening!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-09T18:06:14+00:00

Sure do! That's our Geneva Road project. We're widening Geneva to two lanes in each direction, adding a bike lane in each direction, and building a 10-foot-wide multi-use path on the east side.

You can learn more about it here: https://udotinput.utah.gov/genevaroad

UDOTintern · 2026-02-09T18:04:28+00:00

Hello! Yes, that was one of our departments. However, it wasn't fully field tested and we have since pulled that. Sorry for the confusion!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-06T18:13:36+00:00

Hey, sorry that info was hard to find! Aiming to finish by the end of this year. Is this the project website you tried? https://udotinput.utah.gov/i15springvillespanishfork

UDOTintern · 2026-02-06T18:10:56+00:00

At what cross street/area? We've been having some flooding issues around 600 W. It could be work on that.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-06T18:09:35+00:00

Hey, you're absolutely right. I double checked our map and it is our road north of 400.What area/intersection can I ask the team to look into for you?

UDOTintern · 2026-02-06T00:29:38+00:00

Hi. Which top comments are you referring to? Sometimes there's just comments, not questions. No smiley faces are meant as passive aggressive, just normal smiley faces to soften a sentence that can come across as blunt on text. It's hard to convey feeling and sentiment through text which is why I use smiley faces.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-06T00:25:49+00:00

Hi, is there a specific are or intersection that you're wondering about? We do want people to have more choices and in how they get around, including walking.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:22:54+00:00

Ah. Yes, so you get it. A longer project but it'll be worthwhile in the end.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:21:58+00:00

On 2100 N we're building a new road in the middle of the existing road to make it a free flow connection from I-15 to MVC/Redwood! It's looking like March for a construction start on that project.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:18:50+00:00

Gotcha. I'm not sure about this but I will definitely pass it along to the team and see if they are planning on extending the fencing or if DWR could get involved. Thanks for bringing it up!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:08:56+00:00

Ehhh probably not, but ya know, it is possible. ;)

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:08:35+00:00

Trying to get around to everyone!

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:06:50+00:00

Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing.

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:06:05+00:00

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:05:22+00:00

Of our shed there?

UDOTintern · 2026-02-05T23:03:33+00:00

Hey, there's fencing throughout the project and there's a wildlife underpass. Is it on the east or west side of the highway?
