SR-12 Bridge Work
SR-12 Bridge Work
Work is continuing on the Smith Ranch Bridge north of Henrieville. Traffic over the bridge is in a one lane configuration with traffic control equipment. Be patient and expect up to fifteen minute delays each direction waiting to cross the bridge.
The bypass road around the Henrieville Bridge is finished. Motorists are being detoured around this bridge onto the new road with delays of up to 15 minutes to get through the traffic light system. Crews will be performing demolition on the old structure and building a new bridge.
Crews will be working Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, approximately.
SR-12 will be operational during construction.
State Route 12; Henrieville Area Bridge Work
Project Overview
Starting the week on November 20, 2023 The Utah Department of Transportation will be removing and replacing the Henrieville Bridge and the Smith Ranch Bridge on State Route 12 in the Henrieville, Utah area. The improvements will take about a year to compete with a Winter Shutdown planned from January 20, 2024 to March 19, 2024
Henrieville Bridge: A bypass road will be built to divert traffic around the current bridge while crews rebuild. The team will begin creating the bypass road in November 2024. The bypass road will be paved and opened in March 2024. The bridge will be operational until August 2024.
Smith Ranch Bridge: This bridge will be constructed one side at a time. Traffic will be managed by a Traffic Light and northbound and southbound traffic will alternate moving across the bridge. Motorists can expect up to a 15 minute delay while waiting to cross the bridge. Construction on this bridge started March 4, 2024 along with use of the Traffic Signal to manage one lane traffic.
