Construction
UDOT 1600 S Widening Project
The UDOT 1600 South widening project is moving forward, with an anticipated completion date at the end of 2026. Various subcontractors working for UDOT are busily engaged in the installation (and or relocation) of critical utilities. Canyon Pipeline (working for Enbridge Gas Company) is installing a natural gas pipeline along the 1600 South corridor, which will cross under the Union Pacific Railroad’s (UPRR’s) Sharp Mainline tracks near 1500 West.
A UPRR crossing permit (with a specific timeline window for construction) has been acquired by Canyon Pipeline, allowing a construction bore under the Sharp Mainline tracks.
1600 S will be closed to through traffic January 19th – February 2nd.
The pipeline is to be bored under the railroad tracks, which will require large bore pits on either side of the railroad tracks directly centered within the roadway surface. The bore pit location is constrained by other existing underground and above ground utilities and infrastructure.
UDOT has contacted businesses that are affected by the roadway closure and will have information posted on their (UDOT’s) website. Updates will also be posted on the Springville City social media pages.

Google Fiber
Will every resident be able to access Google Fiber?
Google Fiber is working with Springville City, private homeowner associations and property managers, to reach and access as many households as possible.
When will they start and how long will it take to complete installation?
Google Fiber expects to start construction this spring and aims to finish the initial build in about 18 months.
Will the installation be disruptive to commuter/neighborhood traffic?
Google Fiber will construct its network within city right-of-way easements, in accordance with all permitting protocol. Springville residents can expect to see construction crews in the roadways and adjacent softscapes/yards, that are part of the city’s right-of-way easements. Crews will notify residents and businesses ahead of construction staging by way of door hangers, street signage, cones and other safety and informational efforts.
Google Fiber will work to limit traffic impacts and disruption to residents. Anyone with questions or concerns can contact the Google Fiber Construction hotline at 1-877-454-6959.
