Redwood Road Widening Project
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is scheduled to begin work in April on a roadway project to widen SR-68 (Redwood Road) from Bangerter Highway to 400 South in Saratoga Springs. Construction on this project will widen SR-68 to two lanes in each direction with a center turn lane. It will also include widened shoulders and a bike lane in each direction. This project is estimated to last through fall of 2009. Residents, businesses, and area motorists should expect lane restrictions, area travel delays and intermittent left and right turn restrictions. More project information regarding impacts will be provided as available. UDOT has employed a public information team to keep in touch with area businesses and residents throughout construction.

Redwood Road Storm Drain Project
The Redwood Road Storm Drain Project is an underground storm drainage line that will be installed for the purpose of collecting surface floodwater that currently floods Redwood Road. This is being done to divert floodwater into Utah Lake. Water will be collected in a catch basin proposed to be located on the southeast corner of the large farm property on the west side of Redwood Road. A large diameter (48 inch) storm drain pipe will then convey water east under Redwood Road and under the open space area in the Saratoga Springs Development (SSD) located between Amber Road (1150 South) and Wagoneer Road (1230 South), under Parkway Boulevard and into Utah Lake.
This project also includes additional storm drainage facilities intended to collect floodwater that flows from areas west of Redwood Road and generally west of SSD. It is expected that these improvements will greatly alleviate flooding that has historically occurred on Redwood Road in this location. It is also hoped that these improvements will alleviate the potential for future property damage to individual homes within the SSD neighborhoods.
