FY 2016 Appropriation

Maintenance operations generally are performed by Department personnel and may range from keeping the highway free of litter to repairing extensive damage caused by storms or floods. Traffic services also include highway striping, signs, signals, lighting, roadside rest areas, right-of-way planting, routine maintenance and emergency assistance to traffic such as snow and ice removal. Maintenance of the highway system is primarily the financial responsibility of the State of Utah. Inflation, coupled with increased lane miles of highway surface, has caused expenditures for maintenance to rise.

The Department has set up the Engineer for Maintenance fund to cover extraordinary snow storms, natural disasters or other unexpected emergencies. The record snowfall of January 1993 and the 2011 land slide near Cedar City that took out part of the highway are examples of where these funds have been used. Near the end of the year these funds will be distributed to the regions for regular maintenance functions if emergency expenditures are not required.
