Avintaquin Route Favored for 7 Percent System Highway

Utah state road officials select the Avintaquin route as the primary all year transcontinental highway into Salt Lake City. The report outlines grades, elevations, and snow considerations comparing Avintaquin with Castle Gate Duchesne and Price to Myton routes, arguing Avintaquin best preserves a main link to Salt Lake City despite opposition from Carbon and Wasatch counties.

Feasible Avintaquin route discussed for Uintah Basin road

A Utah advocacy piece argues the Avintaquin route can be kept open with effort and that a new line could reach Duchesne with manageable costs. It notes engineering challenges along the Strawberry river, but cites ample local material and a thorough study by the state road commission, awaiting final federal approval.
