CARBON COUNTY, Utah, Sept. 4, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — U.S. 6 in Carbon County’s Price Canyon reopened as a gravel road Monday afternoon, one day after flooding damaged and closed the highway.
Flooding closed U.S. 6 in both directions between Helper and Soldier Summit about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. By 3:15 p.m. Monday, the highway had reopened as a gravel road with a reduced speed of 25 mph, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
“Big thanks to our crews for making this happen,” UDOT said in a social media post with pictures of the reopened road.
The temporary fix allows the highway to remain open while UDOT crews work to repair the damage. The 25 mph speed limit will be in place for several days, officials said.
