Canyon Road under construction

By Linda Petersen
Work has begun on a Utah County project to reconstruct Canyon Road/100 East in Pleasant Grove and Cedar Hills between State Street and the Timpanogos Highway.

As part of the $9 million project, the contractor, Kilgore Construction will install curb and gutter will be installed on both sides of the road with a continuous asphalt surface on the road to improve the roadway drainage system

Work on the five-mile corridor will include water, sewer, and storm drain line upgrades In addition to the roadway improvements.

Cedar Hills officials are planning to piggyback on the county project to extend a sewer line.

Initially, the sewer project was intended to extend a line from Box Elder Dr. north to Mountaintop Trails which would have served about eight Cedar Hills residences and 16 Pleasant Grove residences. After discussions with Pleasant Grove officials, the project has been modified to include only those eight connections. The Cedar Hills project is expected to cost around $200,000.

All of the homes on Canyon Road are on septic systems which in recent years have seen an increase in system failure due to their age, Cedar Hills Public Works Director Jeff Maag told the city council on February 20. With the reconstruction project, there will be a five-year moratorium on cuts and projects on Canyon Road. If the city has not installed a sewer line by the completion of the project and a septic system fails, it will be difficult to find options for providing sewer services, he said.

The entire project is expected to be complete in October.
