Project location: SR-190: Big Cottonwood Canyon to Brighton Ski Resort
This project consisted of milling and paving 3 inches of 0.5 inch fine grade HMA 32,173 TN, reconstructing utilities, 34 EA (Rapid Set Mix), and installing concrete pavement for the waterway and bus pad at Brighton Loop. French drains were installed to dispel subgrade waterflow and 17.4 miles of UTB shouldering were built. This project was unique with its extensive Public Involvement (PI) efforts to engage the very active residents, as well as the recreators that utilize Big Cottonwood Canyon on a daily basis.
