Eagle Mountain City has begun work to remove the entrance signage and center median leading into the LoneTree subdivision.
The project, aimed at improving traffic flow in and out of the neighborhood, will create dedicated left-turn and right-turn lanes for residents exiting the neighborhood.
Construction is expected to continue through October 25, weather permitting. During construction hours, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., motorists attempting to enter LoneTree will be detoured via Red Pine Road.
However, traffic exiting the neighborhood will still be able to use the traffic light, minimizing disruption for those leaving the area. Outside of construction hours, the entrance to LoneTree will remain open to incoming traffic.
The improvements are intended to ease congestion and streamline traffic movement for residents, particularly during peak travel times and during potential emergency situations. The City intends to reinstall the entrance signage in a different location.
The removal of the signage and median will allow for a more efficient design, reducing bottlenecks and improving safety.
Eagle Mountain City urges residents to plan accordingly and allow extra time when traveling through the area.
