If you drive SR-16 between Woodruff and Randolph, build a few extra minutes into the trip. UDOT's bridge project there has the highway down to one lane, with temporary signals taking turns letting traffic through, and that setup stays in place through the winter.

UDOT says the signal timing has been tuned, but drivers should still expect waits of up to 10 minutes, or about three light cycles. Lanes are 11 feet wide through the work zone, and wide loads are restricted through 2026, so haulers and anyone pulling a big trailer should check before heading out.

The work replaces two aging bridges, one at Francis Road south of Woodruff (over Saleratus Creek) and one over the Woodruff-Randolph Canal south of Randolph, plus several pipe culverts just north of Francis Road. UDOT is also resurfacing SR-16 from the Wyoming line to Randolph with new asphalt in some spots and chip seal in others.

Crews work weekdays, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no weekend or night work planned. The project takes a winter shutdown starting in December and picks back up in spring, with completion expected in summer 2027\. UDOT lists the bridge and culvert work at about $9.6 million and the Wyoming-to-Randolph paving at about $4.9 million.

Questions go to the project hotline at 855-925-2801, ext. 2400, or SR16bridges@utah.gov. Live conditions are on UDOT Traffic (udottraffic.utah.gov).
