PROJECTS
SR-34; St. George Blvd
Starting August 3, 2025, UDOT began to work on adding new ADA compliant pedestrian ramps on St. George Blvd. There will be lane closures at night, but traffic should remain smooth during the day. The project will also add upgrades to the surrounding electrical systems and replace the top layer of asphalt and add signage and striping, which are slated to begin in September.
I-15 Safety Project; Hurricane to Leads
The I-15 Safety Project worked to improve safety features on the I-15 by installing new fencing to keep local wildlife out of the roadway. A new double cattleguard was installed on the I-15 Northbound Leeds Exit 20, further increasing the safety of the road.
HPI coordinated with Leeds Town, Harrisburg, Red Cliffs Tortoise Reserve and Washington County, Utah with preconstruction coordination, in person outreach and construction updates throughout the project.
SR-12 Bridge Work; Henrieville Area
In November 2023, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began work on replacing the Henrieville Bridge, as well as the Smith Ranch Bridge on State Route 12. In March 2024, a bypass road was built around the Henrieville Bridge, to send the flow of traffic around the bridge crews while they worked. The Smith Ranch Bridge was built one side at a time, with a temporary traffic light installed to manage traffic while the bridge crews worked. Both projects were finished in August 2024.
A direct mailer was created and sent to all residents in the area by HPI. In addition, in person site visits, weekly coordination meetings, UDOT website and traffic app updates were facilitated as well. This corridor is heavily used by tourists. Local towns and recreation sites were kept apprised of impacts throughout construction.
SR-18 Snow Canyon White Rock Trailhead
A new parking lot was added to the north entrance into Snow Canyon Park at the White Rocks Trailhead. The project began construction in March 2025 and was completed by the end of June 2025. The asphalt parking lot allows additional parking for up to forty-five vehicles to access the trailhead. Our HPI team used traditional and digital media to share project progress and document these improvements.
SR-289; University Blvd & 1150 West | Cedar City
In June 2025, the Utah Department of Transportation began construction on a roundabout at the intersection of University Blvd and 1150 West in Cedar City, Utah. The roundabout improved the flow of traffic as well as promoted pedestrian safety. Additionally, the project added drainage improvements, utility line adjustments, new lighting, signage and guardrail along the I-15 overpass. Construction was completed in November 2025.
SR-318; Quail Creek State Park
In March 2025, construction began on SR-318 at Quail Creek State Park to add a new right-turn lane into the park. Improvements to the road included new asphalt pavement, Micro-surfacing and turn-out spots. The project was completed May 2025.
SR-56; Iron Springs Road
The Utah Department of Transportation finished upgrades to the SR-56; Iron Springs Intersection. This project improved safety at the site by making several design changes to the intersection. The improvements include
- Changing the number of lanes on SR-56 to a single lane in each direction with painted buffers between the through lanes and turn lanes.
- Changing 5300 West to only allow right-in/right-out traffic onto SR-56 reducing conflict points.
- Added deceleration lanes for both eastbound and westbound traffic turning onto Iron Springs Road
- Add acceleration lanes for southbound left turns from Iron Springs onto SR-56.
- Pavement widening throughout the corridor as well as updates to signage and drainage.
HPI will led the PI through the Design and Construction phase.

Navajo Gallup Water Supply Project: San Juan River Intake & Pumping Plant | Farmington, NM
HPI is facilitating Partnering as a sub contractor to Ames construction and the Bureau of Reclamation on a new pump plant in Farmington New Mexico.
The project is part of the overall Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project (NGWSP). The river intake and pumping plant will serve as the diversion facility for the San Juan Lateral, directing water from the San Juan River into the pipeline system that supplies the Navajo Nation and the city of Gallup. When finished, NGWSP will include about 300 miles of pipeline, two water treatment plants, 19 pumping plants, and multiple water storage tanks.
Our Partnering Facilitation Team is performing quarterly Partnering throughout the duration of the project with motivating content, fostering a positive team culture, getting buy-in from all team members, conflict mitigation and celebrating team successes.
Lincoln County, NV Multi-Sport Complex
HPI is leading the Public Involvement on a new multi-sport complex in Panaca, Nevada from design through construction. The park will create softball, baseball, football, and a track along with supporting infrastructure. The PI Plan includes stakeholder outreach to adjacent property owners, a community-wide open house, comment and hotline tools, website content, digital media content, coordination with Lincoln County and Panaca Town leadership and mitigating any conflicts.
