SR-158 | Rockfall Mitigation
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
July 30, 2025
We’ve officially kicked off our rockfall safety project on SR-158 near Pineview Dam to help keep drivers safe from falling rocks. Crews are hard at work installing a protective rockfall mesh along the rock wall—using cranes and even a helicopter to get the job done. A full road closure has been in effect since July 28 and is expected to last about three weeks. Be sure to plan ahead, follow the detour around the reservoir, and check our website for the latest updates. Thanks for staying informed—and thank you for your patience as we move forward with this vital safety improvement!

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.
