Weber County, UT – Weber County, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Forest Service, is making safety improvements to Causey Reservoir this summer through a grant from the Federal Lands Access Program.
Access to the Reservoir and Causey Estates Recreation Area will remain open to the public but significantly impacted by the project. Visitors should be aware of construction and expect delays due to one-lane roadways and flaggers. Weber Memorial Park will remain fully accessible and operational.
Construction has begun and will continue through 2027.
Safety improvements to Causey Road include rehabilitating and reconstructing the road, widening the shoulders on the road, putting in new culvert crossings under the road and replacing Beaver Creek Bridge. Causey Road will remain open during construction, with at least one lane always open. It is anticipated that Beaver Creek Bridge will undergo a three-week full closure in November for its replacement.
Safety improvements to Wheatgrass Road include widening tight spots on the road and rebuilding retaining walls along the road. It is anticipated that Wheatgrass Road will be fully closed July 17, 2026–May 15, 2027.
Safety improvements to Skull Crack Road include upgrading the drainage ditch along the road and improving the guardrail along the road. A road closure for Skull Crack Road is to be determined but would most likely only affect a parking lot.
Construction schedules are subject to change.
The Weber County Sheriff’s Office encourages visitors to park in designated areas to avoid traffic problems, safety hazards, expensive parking tickets and possible towing. Parking by signs that prohibit parking creates a public safety hazard by increasing pedestrian traffic near moving vehicles and reducing the travel space available for vehicular traffic, including emergency vehicles. Parking violation fines start at $150 from May 15 through September 15 each year.
The Forest Service is doing an additional project that includes constructing an overflow parking lot near the east side of the dam and a new parking lot and boat ramp on Skull Crack Road.
