In Wayne County, south of Torrey on the Boulder Loop, shoulder work is being done along with some excavation of the hillside alongside the curve for the purpose of realignment. UDOT has other road construction in Emery County west of Green River on I-70, where crews are doing structure and surface work on a bridge deck on U.S. 6. Single lane closures are planned on I-70 in both directions. The Colorado River Bridge north of Moab also is being worked on with minimal traffic delays.
