SR-158 | Rockfall Mitigation
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
August 12, 2025
Our rockfall safety project on SR-158 near Pineview Dam is progressing smoothly and on schedule. This past weekend marked a major milestone, with a helicopter installing the rock wall mesh wire. We’re still on track to reopen the road by August 18, just in time for the busy back-to-school season. We’ll share any updates if that changes. In the meantime, please continue using the posted detour around the reservoir, and thank you for your patience as we complete this important safety project.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will be implementing safety enhancements of rockfall mitigation on Pineview Dam (SR-158) near Ogden Canyon. The project objectives are aimed at enhancing safety for motorists passing through the route. This work includes using a crane and a helicopter to mount a draped wire mesh fence along the rock wall onto the barrier adjacent to the westbound lane. The results will serve as extra protection from loose falling rocks for SR-158 motorists
| Know before you go. Check UDOT Traffic before hitting the road |
UDOT has established a project-dedicated public involvement team for the SR-158 Rockfall Mitigation Paving Project.
