PROVO, Utah (ABC4) — Both US-40 (Daniel’s Pass) and US-189 (Provo Canyon) have reopened after multiple avalanches on Friday.
Utah Highway Patrol reported the first closure at Provo Canyon shortly after 3 p.m. on Friday.
An avalanche reportedly covered the road during mitigation operations, and was estimated at a 1-2 hour cleanup. UHP stated shortly after that the closure time would be 5-6 hours, which was then changed to 24 hours.
“Please plan ahead and use alternate routes,” UHP stated. US-189 has since been reopened for travel.
UHP reported that Daniel’s Pass was closed near mile marker 25 at around 10:30 p.m. Friday night. This closure was also due to an avalanche.
US-40 has also been reopened, UHP states.
No further information is available at this time.
