Duchesne officials outline roadwork plans, propose short‑term truck parking on Highway 191
Summary
County commissioners reported plans to align State Street with Pole Line Road at Highway 40, replace culverts, pave North Crescent by year’s end, and propose short‑term truck parking on Highway 191 pending Duchesne City approval; a 1.5‑mile chip‑seal on Upper Red Creek (CR 1) was also planned.
At its March 23 meeting the Duchesne County commissioners reported a suite of road maintenance and safety projects across the county, including aligning State Street and Pole Line Road with the traffic signal on Highway 40 and addressing a sight‑line hill on 6000 South. The commissioners also said North Crescent should be paved by the end of this year and that a 1.5‑mile roto‑mill and double chip seal is planned for Upper Red Creek (CR 1).
The commissioners described a proposal for a short‑term truck parking lot on Highway 191 near the cemetery as a temporary measure to address overloaded trucks that damage local roads; the use of the land for parking would require approval by Duchesne City and the county said it is coordinating with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) on culvert replacements and other partnering projects in Altonah and on 3000 West. Duchesne City Mayor Deborah Herron and other local officials were listed as present for the discussion. The minutes also note a potential full‑service truck stop between Myton and Duchesne was raised as a longer‑term option.
No formal motion or vote on the parking lot or truck stop was recorded in the minutes provided; next steps recorded were further coordination with UDOT and a need for Duchesne City to approve the proposed site use.
