The majestic mountain views of SR 10 may once again be enjoyed by travelers who no longer have to worry about keeping their eyes glued to the precarious roadway.
A new 3-mi. (4.8 km) stretch of SR 10 is now open to car and truck traffic between Emery and Muddy Creek in Emery County, Utah. Nielson Construction of Huntington headed up the $7 million project that resulted in a new alignment 28 ft. (45 km) over from the existing two lanes.
“The roadway was very dilapidated and unsafe for the heavy truck traffic that it receives,” said Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Project Manager Daryl Friant. “It consisted of two 12-foot lanes with one foot shoulders and the pavement was falling apart in many sections.”
This area of SR 10 plays an important economic role to the surrounding counties of Emery and Carbon, which both produce coal, because it is the only route for the coal trucks to travel.
