Description/Agenda
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) held a public open house in Hatch, Utah, on June 27, 2024, regarding a proposal to construct northbound and southbound passing lanes on US-89 north of Hatch. Based on public comments received, the originally proposed southbound passing lane between mileposts (MP) 117.3 and 118.3 has been eliminated.
The revised scope of work includes widening US-89 along the west side of the road north of Hatch, between MP 116.4 and MP 118.3, to accommodate a new 12-foot-wide northbound passing lane. Widening US-89 along the southbound shoulder south of Hatch, between MP 114.1 and MP 115.8, to accommodate a new 12-foot-wide southbound passing lane.
Additional improvements include drainage upgrades such as extension or replacement of culverts and placement of erosion-control rock (riprap) in drainage channels, slope flattening and installation of guardrail at select locations, reinstallation of rumble strips within the project limits, and updates to signing and striping to meet current standards. Access to affected side roads and driveways will be improved as part of the project. The work will require permanent right-of-way acquisition and/or temporary construction easements at several locations, including areas where construction activities occur within drainage channels and at the top of an existing cut slope to be enlarged on the southbound side of the highway near MP 115.3.
UDOT is providing an opportunity for any person to request a public hearing regarding the proposed improvements. Requests for a hearing must be submitted in writing or by email on or before December 17, 2025. Written requests may be emailed to us89hatch@utah.gov or mailed to: Hatch Passing Lanes Team, c/o WCG, 153 East 200
South, #9, Farmington, Utah 84025. If a hearing is requested, UDOT will schedule a public hearing in Hatch, Utah, and will publish an additional notice stating the date, time, and location of the hearing.
