US-26 & Hitt Road (25th East) Intersection

As construction occurs through the spring and summer of 2027, motorists will be affected by as many as seven different traffic shifts through the work zone. All impacts will be signed, with flaggers and traffic control present as needed. Project plans do provide for traffic to continue in both directions to the greatest degree possible and business access to be maintained. Drivers are encouraged to seek surrounding alternate routes to avoid delays. Information will be shared regularly during construction via ITD’s social media channels and online community groups. Thank you to drivers for understanding that the frustration will be worth it and greatly improve the area for the long term future!

Altering the intersection of US-26 and Iona Road to allow right-turn only movement was always a part of the Hitt Road intersection project. Following multiple severe crashes on US-26 through 2026, and in cooperation with Bonneville County, the decision was made to advance this change immediately. Temporary median barriers were placed in August and outreach conducted to re-route vehicles and encourage the use of traffic signals at both Hitt Road and Woodruff Avenue. These barriers and signage will become more permanent as part of construction in 2027.
