[#0000FF]I don't think I can remember a year in recent times when there has not been some kind of project along either or both Provo Canyon or Daniels Canyon.
I am also seeing a lot more oil tankers and other truck traffic along Hwy 40 this year...coming and going...in both directions. They usually keep up good speed but when they are loaded they bog down traffic and create other hazards to folks in pickups and passenger cars.
I got my windshield "decorations" while going up Daniels in the morning. Without the traffic slowdowns of the work crew those trucks were blowing down the road...and throwing up lots of pea gravel. Had two of them shower me with that stuff from the road resurfacing.
There are passing lanes in Daniels Canyon but it would sure be better if they could ultimately make it a divided highway with at least two lanes on either side. Make the oil companies pay for it since they are using the roads so much...and causing most of the road damage. They need another excuse to raise the price of oil.
