Logan Canyon Construction: Fiber Optic Installation and Safety Enhancements Underway

Logan Canyon is currently undergoing significant construction as the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) installs fiber optic cables along Highway 89.

This project aims to enhance communication capabilities and safety features throughout the canyon.

Construction activities are taking place between mileposts 475.5 and 477.5, near Temple Fork Road, and mileposts 482.5 to 484.5, close to Franklin Basin Road.

Motorists should expect intermittent lane closures and delays during both daytime and occasional nighttime hours.

To ensure safety, drivers are urged to reduce speed, follow posted signage, and remain vigilant for crew members and equipment in the construction zones.

The fiber optic installation is part of a broader initiative to improve broadband access in Logan Canyon, facilitating more reliable communication for communities such as Logan City, Garden City, and Beaver Mountain Resort.

Beyond enhancing connectivity, the project will enable the installation of permanent, remotely programmable signs, cameras, and traffic monitoring systems, significantly improving safety and convenience for canyon travelers.

Construction began in May 2025 and is expected to continue for approximately 18 months, with a winter hiatus.

During this period, temporary signals and one-way traffic controls will be implemented at various locations.

For the most current information and updates on the project, UDOT encourages the public to visit their official project page or contact the project team directly.

Staying informed will help motorists plan their travel accordingly and minimize disruptions.

As construction progresses, the community looks forward to the long-term benefits these infrastructure improvements will bring to Logan Canyon and its surrounding areas.

Enhanced communication and safety features are expected to provide a more secure and connected experience for all who traverse this scenic route.
