Major highways across northern Utah are part of the next phase to receive new striping that is expected to be more visible to drivers.
Gov. Spencer Cox announced Monday that sections of the following highways in Salt Lake, Davis, Tooele and Summit counties will be among those where lane markings will be replaced with new, wider lines:
The Enhanced Freeway Striping project began in the spring on a portion of I-15 in in Utah County. That phase of the project is expected to be completed by the fall. The wider highway markings are designed to last longer and be more visible to drivers along the Wasatch Front, especially during poor weather conditions.
Markings should be more reflective using white and black line contrast striping between lanes to better stand out on the road, according to the Utah Department of Transportation. The project entails crews first removing the old tape by grinding a shallow groove into the pavement so that the new tape won't be dug up by snowplows. An adhesive is then placed on the road before the new tape, which can stay in place for up to six years, is applied.
