Utah's seasonal roads start to open with springtime thaw
Several of those roads, according to UDOT, will open this week.
State Road 148 in Cedar Breaks National Monument opened on Tuesday morning, May 13, and crews are working to open two other seasonal roads – SR-65 from East Canyon to Emigration Canyon and Monte Cristo Highway, or SR-39 – by 8 a.m. on Friday, May 16.

SR-190 and SR-224, otherwise known as Guardsman Pass, which runs east from Brighton to Park City, are expected to open on Thursday morning, May 22.
Utah has nine state-run seasonal roads that close to traffic through the winter months, typically between November to May or June. UDOT said that maintaining the roads during the winter is expensive and can be a safety risk due to swift, heavy snow that moves in.
As of Tuesday, May 13, only two of the nine state-run seasonal roads have reopened for the summer. A full list can be found below:
SR-39 Monte Cristo Highway (east of Ogden) – Expected to open Friday, May 16
SR-65 East Canyon (northeast of Salt Lake City) – Expected to open Friday, May 16
SR-190 Guardsman Pass (Brighton to Park City) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22
SR-224 Guardsman Pass (Park City to Brighton) – Expected to open Thursday, May 22
SR-92 American Fork Canyon/Alpine Loop – CLOSED
SR-150 Mirror Lake Highway (east of Kamas) – CLOSED
SR-35 Wolf Creek Summit (east of Francis to west of Hanna) – OPEN
