Price City warns of 100-day Carbon Avenue canal crossing closure; schools to reroute traffic
Summary
City staff said a Canal Crossing project on Carbon Avenue is projected to start in early December and will close the road for about 100 days, creating a dead end and requiring adjustments to school drop-off and traffic patterns near the junior high.
City staff told the workshop that the planned Canal Crossing on Carbon Avenue could begin in early December and is expected to require about 100 days of work, during which the road will be a dead end.
Staff said they have already discussed the project with the high school district and expect modifications to parent drop-off routes, additional signage and traffic pattern changes to reduce disruption during the school year. "That would have probably closed for 100 days," a staff member said, warning the council that the closure will increase traffic on alternate routes such as 100 East.
Officials said the start date depends on bonding and contractor readiness; city staff will communicate firm start and detour details once dates are set. They emphasized the need for public outreach to inform parents about changes during the closure and to plan for the irrigation and construction timeline.
No formal vote or funding approval occurred at the workshop; city staff requested time to finalize schedules, coordinate with school officials and publish detour and timing details to the public.
