Overnight Lane Reductions on SR-224 as BRT Construction Begins

High Valley Transit to host open house as work ramps up along busy Utah corridor

Apr. 1, 2026 at 7:06pm

Bus rapid transit construction is set to begin on April 1 along SR-224 in Park City, Utah, with overnight lane reductions this week between Canyons Resort Drive and Bear Hollow Drive. High Valley Transit will host an open house on April 7 as work ramps up along the corridor from Kimball Junction to Deer Valley Drive.

Why it matters

The SR-224 BRT project is designed to improve travel between Kimball Junction and Old Town by creating a faster, more reliable alternative to driving along one of the region's most congested routes. The construction will cause temporary traffic disruptions but is part of a multi-year transit overhaul to benefit Summit County residents and visitors.

The details

For the week of March 30 to April 3, SR-224 between Canyons Resort Drive and Bear Hollow Drive will be reduced to one lane in each direction nightly from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. to allow crews to temporarily remove center medians. Drivers should expect periodic lane shifts, shoulder closures, and changing traffic patterns during construction, but High Valley Transit says two lanes in each direction will be maintained whenever possible.

  • Construction on the SR-224 Bus Rapid Transit project is expected to begin on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
  • Overnight lane reductions on SR-224 between Canyons Resort Drive and Bear Hollow Drive will take place from March 30 to April 3, 2026, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
  • High Valley Transit will host a public open house on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Richins Building Auditorium.
