EAST ZION IMPROVED
Project Overview
To accommodate future growth and development in the area east of Zion National Park, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has completed the East Zion Roundabout and Improvement Project, that included:
- Installed a new roundabout at the intersection of North Fork Road (MP 46.5) and State Route 9
- Added intersection improvements at MP 45.2 that include an at-grade pedestrian crossing, widening SR-9 to accommodate turn lanes, widened areas for a future shuttle, and striping and signing improvements
- Reduced speed from 55 mph to 35 mph from the east entrance of Zion National Park (MP 44.8) to MP 45.5. Speed reduction from 55 mph to 45 mph from MP 45.5 to MP 46.75
- Installed a new pedestrian underpass at the intersection of North Fork Road (MP 46.5) and SR-9
Installed a 14-foot wide multi-use path on the south side of SR-9 between MP 45.2 and MP 46.5 - Installed wildlife crossing conflict mitigation measures along SR-9 including speed reduction, static signage, and variable message signs
As much as possible, improvements were designed to harmonize with the surrounding environment.
