Deck Repair Work Beginning Next Week for Glen Canyon Bridge

Glen_canyon_bridgePAGE – ADOT will be performing deck maintenance on Glen Canyon Bridge on US 89 approximately two miles north of the Town of Page. The work consists of repairing the surface of the bridge deck and applying a sealant to both north- and southbound lanes and will affect travel across the bridge one lane at a time.

Construction will occur during night hours between 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Monday, Sept. 8 and will occur weekly Mondays through Thursdays. The work is anticipated to be completed in October. To accommodate the maintenance, one lane of travel will be closed at a time, with flaggers provided for alternating traffic. Speeds will be reduced on approach of the bridge and delays during travel can be expected during construction.

Because Glen Canyon Bridge and the adjacent Glen Canyon Dam are popular tourist destinations, pedestrian travel on the bridge will be allowed – but only on the side of the bridge which is free of maintenance activity. No access or crossing over to the closed side of the bridge will be permitted during construction. Access to the adjacent Carl Hayden Visitor Center parking will be maintained at all times, and flaggers will assist to direct vehicles as they re-enter roadway traffic. Please exercise caution while the repair work is underway, and allow for extra travel time during construction.
