Utah's seasonal roads start to open with springtime thaw
SALT LAKE CITY () — Utah's weather is warming up, and mountain passes are beginning to thaw out. And that means the Utah Department of Transportation will begin opening its seasonal roads. Several of those roads, according to UDOT, will open this week. State Road 148 in Cedar Breaks National Monument opened on Tuesday morning, May 13, and crews are working to open two other seasonal roads – SR-65 from East Canyon to Emigration Canyon and Monte Cristo Highway, or SR-39 – by 8 a.m. on Friday, May 16. Toxic dust storm sweeps across Salt Lake Valley, hitting Utah's most densely populated areas SR-190 and SR-224, otherwise known as Guardsman Pass, which runs east from Brighton to Park City, are expected to open on Thursday morning, May 22. Utah has nine state-run seasonal roads that close to traffic through the winter months, typically between November to May or June. UDOT said that maintaining the roads during the winter is expensive and can be a safety risk due to swift, heavy snow that moves in. As of Tuesday, May 13, only two of the nine state-run seasonal roads have reopened for the summer. A full list can be found below: SR-39 Monte Cristo Highway (east of Ogden) – Expected to open Friday, May 16 SR-65 East Canyon (northeast of Salt Lake City) – Expected to open Friday, May 16 SR-190 Guardsman Pass (Brighton to Park City) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22 SR-224 Guardsman Pass (Park City to Brighton) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22 SR-92 American Fork Canyon/Alpine Loop – CLOSED SR-150 Mirror Lake Highway (east of Kamas) – CLOSED SR-35 Wolf Creek Summit (east of Francis to west of Hanna) – OPEN SR-135 Mount Holly (west of US-89 in Junction to Puffer Lake) – CLOSED SR-148 Cedar Breaks National Monument (east of Cedar City) – OPEN Living Traditions Festival returning this weekend Utah's seasonal roads start to open with springtime thaw Sex offender arrested for attempting to meet child in Lehi, documents say Ride the Brainwave with GTU Trump extends 'olive branch' to Iran with stern warning Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

UDOT: Canyon road conditions ‘deteriorating' with late Utah winter storm
SALT LAKE CITY () — If you plan to head into the Cottonwood Canyons to take advantage of the fresh snow or go to the Wasatch Back, you may want to take extra precautions. The Utah Department of Transportation warns road conditions through the canyons are deteriorating. UDOT said both SR-190 and SR-210 in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyon have become 'snow and slick' from the mid to upper parts of the canyons. 'If you or your vehicle is not prepared to handle the conditions, go with a friend who is, take the UTA bus, or wait out the worst of the storm before noon,' UDOT said . Traction laws are in effect for both Canyons as of 10 a.m. Little Cottonwood Canyon alone received about six inches of fresh snow overnight, making for wet, heavy slush, according to the Utah Department of Transportation. UDOT estimates another five inches of new snow is expected to fall by noon on April 1. Crews are out working to keep the road conditions safe. UDOT asks drivers to give them room to clear by parking to the right of the white line on the road. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
