County outlines road projects, proposes short-term truck parking near cemetery
Summary
County commissioners reported multiple road upgrades—including aligning State Street and Pole Line Road with the Highway 40 signal, paving North Crescent this year, and a proposed short-term truck parking lot on Highway 191 that will require Duchesne City approval and coordination with UDOT.
County commissioners provided a multi-point update on planned road work and freight infrastructure at the Duchesne County Council of Governments meeting on March 23, 2026. They said they are "aligning State Street and Pole Line Road with the light on Highway 40," plan to remove a hill on 6000 S to improve sight lines, and expect "North Crescent should be paved by the end of this year." Duchesne City will need to approve use of the land for a proposed short-term truck parking lot on Highway 191, and the county is working with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) on the project.
Duchesne City Mayor Deborah Herron also discussed a possible full-service truck stop between Myton and Duchesne and raised concerns about overloaded trucks and the damage they cause to local roads. Town reports noted Tabiona Valley roads are being graveled and a culvert was replaced on 3000 West; additional culverts in Altonah will be replaced in partnership with UDOT. Commissioners said crews plan to roto-mill and double chip-seal 1.5 miles on Upper Red Creek (CR 1) this year.
No formal vote or funding details for the truck parking or truck stop were recorded in the minutes; several of the projects described will require intergovernmental approvals, local land approvals, and UDOT coordination before work proceeds. The council did not record a timeline for Duchesne City’s decision on the Highway 191 parking lot, and no dollar amounts were specified in the meeting record.
