Bridge access from Orem 800 North to Provo Canyon to remain closed to traffic through weekend

Canyon highway remains open, drivers can use local routes to connect to University Avenue

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) advises drivers to use alternate routes to access Provo Canyon for this weekend and into next week. Recent storms have eroded a section of the cliffside at the mouth of the canyon where 800 North in Orem connects to US-189. UDOT technical crews have evaluated the area and determined the bridge connection will remain closed to traffic as a safety precaution until the area of rock can be removed next week.

Motorists traveling into Provo Canyon from I-15 can use alternate local routes such as Orem Center Street or University Parkway to access University Avenue. From there, drivers will be able to travel up US-189. Plan additional travel time.
