Park Service OKs plan to reconstruct section of state Route 12 in Bryce Canyon

The National Park Service has approved a plan to reconstruct a section of state Route 12 that was damaged in a 2017 landslide. The project, between mileposts 14 and 18, will be implemented in three phases and is anticipated to begin next spring. According to the park service, the roadway footprint will be 51 feet wide with 5-foot bicycle lanes on either side and shoulders that are a foot wide. Between mileposts 14.6 and 15.8, the road will be widened to include three 12-foot travel lanes for a westbound passing lane extension. Deseret News
