Veyo Bridge Closure and Repairs UDOT

Public Information – Veyo Bridge Closure and Repairs

What Happened?

During a routine biennial inspection inspectors discovered some cracking in plates used to retrofit the bridge.

What does it mean to me?

  • THE BRIDGE WILL BE CLOSED from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Saturday and Sunday, February 8th and 9th.
  • THE BRIDGE WILL BE CLOSED from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, February 10th through the 13th.
  • During hours when the bridge is open, traffic will be restricted to a single lane down the center of the bridge. An automated signal will control the alternating traffic over the bridge.
  • Vehicles with a gross weight of over 30 tons will continue to be restricted until repairs are completed Thursday afternoon and must use another route.
  • Some school bus times and routes may see alterations through Thursday.

What are we doing about it?

  • We are replacing the cracked plates to restore the bridge to its previous retrofitted condition so that both lanes will be open to regular traffic as quickly as possible.
  • Our motor carriers division is restricting oversized and overweight loads.
  • Out of an abundance of caution, we are alternating traffic on the center of the bridge to further reduce load stresses.
  • We are coordinating with emergency and public services during the closure period.
  • Our structural engineering team is conducting research to determine a long-term solution or replacement.
