We're always looking for innovative ways to make Utah’s roads safer. That’s why we’re among the first states in the U.S. to roll out LiDAR technology at intersections. LiDAR uses eye-safe laser beams to recreate a 3D view of an entire intersection, capturing every vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist movement. This technology allows our engineers to spot “near misses,” red light runs, track pedestrian pathways, and more—helping us implement safety improvements like longer crosswalk times and adjusting signal timings. Big things coming from our Traffic Signals Operations Engineer Mark Taylor and his team. And we're just getting started.

About us
UDOT’s vision is as simple and straightforward as our name. We aim to Keep Utah Moving. That includes everything from improving our roads and traffic lights to providing alternate means of getting from A to B, like bike lanes and public transit. We want to make sure that whatever is being moved, freight and cargo or the people in a vehicle, arrives safe and promptly. It isn’t easy, but Keeping Utah Moving is what keeps UDOT going.

Say goodbye (hello) to the old (new) Bangerter. 👋 Curious about all that concrete piled up along Bangerter? It’s part of a major recycling effort! Our crews are crushing 15,000 cubic yards of old pavement—enough to fill two Goodyear Blimps—and repurposing it for the new interchange. This is all part of the work to remove stoplights and convert Bangerter intersections into freeway-style interchanges to increase safety and help keep traffic moving in the ever-growing west side of the Salt Lake Valley. #transportation #TeamUDOT #concrete

This week, we celebrated breaking ground on the long-awaited $152 million Energy Corridor project in Montezuma Creek alongside Lt. Gov. Diedre Henderson and Navajo Nation leaders. Nearly 20 years in the making, this exciting project includes 54 miles of new pavement along SR-162 and SR-262, a new McElmo bridge, and a roundabout at Montezuma Creek. We’re also enhancing safety by widening shoulders, adding rumble strips, and upgrading guardrails. This work will ensure safer, smoother, and more convenient travel for local residents, and visitors to Bears Ears, Four Corners, and Hovenweep National Monuments. A huge congratulations and thank you to everyone who made this milestone possible! #TeamUDOT #infrastructure #Utah

Just when you thought snowplow season was over, Mother Nature decided to hail a little surprise. 🌨️ We try to be prepared for all types of weather by continuously clearing the drains and maintaining the roads, but when it comes down this quickly, and ferociously, it's difficult to contain. This week our crews jumped into action around the state to fix drains, clear debris, and yes, snowplow in August. 😀 Are you interested in a job where no two days are the same? We're hiring.

Why does it always feel like there’s construction on I-15? Probably because there is! At over 400 miles long, it’s the longest road in the state. Maintaining I-15 is like taking care of a house: you might fix the electrical today, the sprinklers tomorrow, then before you know it the roof needs repairing. Each project is different but essential, and the work never really ends, especially with limited funds. So, yep, there’s always going to be something happening somewhere along it. We recently wrapped up work on I-15 in Nephi, and now we’re working on it in Salt Lake County to repair some bridges. Different locations, different projects, same goal: making our roads better and safer. #Utah #Utahhumor #UtahTransportation
