UDOT projects on Highway 40 and right‑of‑way clearing discussed; county eyes deer fence and fiber coordination
Summary
Officials noted major UDOT work on Highway 40 and discussed coordinating right‑of‑way clearing with Forestry, Fire and State Lands; county representatives also asked that a deer‑fence project be linked to a planned fiber installation.
County staff reported UDOT will complete major projects on Highway 40, including a super‑elevation fix at Lower Red Creek and finishing work from the store to Pine Creek.
A Committee member said the county is working with Forestry, Fire and State Lands to clear the Highway 40 right‑of‑way to improve sight lines and asked staff to seek funding for the work before the next construction season. The same speaker connected a proposed deer‑fence project with a larger fiber installation the county expects, suggesting coordination between projects could be efficient.
Speakers mentioned an allocation of about $9,000,000 for related work in the region and urged continued coordination with state agencies. No budget vote or formal funding decision was made at the meeting; staff were asked to follow up with specifics on funding sources and schedules.
