Strong winds, winter storms force road restrictions for several highways across Utah
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Several road restrictions were implemented across Utah as strong winds swept the state late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
Early Tuesday morning, the Utah Department of Transportation prohibited high-profile vehicles such as semi-trucks and RVs from driving on I-80 through Tooele County due to high winds. The restrictions were also extended to other light vehicles that could be at risk of blowing over.
State Route 143 near Brian Head and State Route 14 near Cedar City were also closed in both directions due to strong winds, prompting UDOT to force drivers onto alternate routes.
