As you know, there are a lot of transportation projects under way or starting soon.  Here are a few highlights and I will add more in the upcoming Spanish Fork Happenings posts.  

An additional left turn lane will be added to Canyon Creek Parkway from HWY 6.

A new signal will be added in at the intersection by McDonald’s and Wendy’s and the new Target that is currently under construction.  Expressway Lane will be widened and add more lanes through HWY 6.

Spanish Fork Parkway will be completed at the railroad crossing which will alleviate traffic on 4th North.

“This Main St project will enhance traffic flow and improve safety for the City. The project area will be reconstructed to include a raised median, bike lanes, and LID drainage. The raised median will remove dangerous turn movements, decrease delay during peak traffic times, and improve safety.”

New light and connection to HWY 6 from 2000 East.

New I-15 exit between Springville 400 N and Spanish Fork HWY 6.
