UPDATE Provo Canyon now expected to be closed for over 24 hours due to avalanche
PROVO, Utah — Provo Canyon has been closed to all traffic Friday afternoon due to an avalanche covering US-189.While the Utah Highway Patrol said the closure was expected to remain in place for 1-2 hours, then 5-6 hours, so that crews can clear the road. The Utah Department of Transportation says the shut down will remain in place for at least 24 hours.
According to the UHP, the avalanche was caused by mitigation operations in the area. Those planning on using US-189 are advised to seek alternate routes during the closure. The US-189 closure is the second of the week as the canyon was also shut down Monday after a similarly-caused avalanche in the Deer Creek Dam area.
