1 to 2 Hour Delays for Holiday Road Trips

Heading to southern Utah may take a little longer this Memorial Day weekend. The Utah Department of Transportation is warning drivers there could be one to two hour delays on I-15 through Utah County. UDOT says there won't be any new construction or restrictions on the I-15 Core Project. But crews will continue working through the holiday. They want to take advantage of a little sun, just like travelers. Scott Thompson, UDOT Spokesman says "We've been a little hampered by the weather with what we can do. We can't put down asphalt or concrete when it's cold and rainy. So hopefully this is turning out to be a good time of year to really get some construction done." UDOT Says avoid travel on I-15 through Utah County Friday afternoon and Monday after 2pm. AAA says fewer people plan on driving this Memorial Day weekend. Down half a percent from last year.
 

Flooding information from Spanish Fork

 

This is a news release from Spanish Fork.

The winter snow fall has accumulated to over 200% of average in some of the mountain drainage areas. Combine this extremely high snow pack with the relatively cold spring we have experienced and the Spanish Fork River is set for possible high water flows in the coming weeks.

Weather will now determine how quickly the snow will melt in the mountains. The hotter the weather, the quicker the snow will melt and the higher and faster the water will flow.
