Ogden Canyon reopens as crews fix water line leak

OGDEN, Utah (ABC4) — Drivers in and around Ogden Canyon can travel a little easier this afternoon after crews repaired a leaking water line near the mouth of the canyon.

Ogden City says the leak began Friday night, and due to the nature of the repairs that had to be made, the road had to be closed in both directions. Crews were able to finish repair work, and the road was reopened today.

Travelers are advised to take their time traveling in the area as both directions are open but the speed limit is down to 25 miles per hour. Paving crews will be in the area Monday morning around 8 a.m. to prep for asphalt replacement. During this time, the road will be down to a single lane.

The city says motorists should expect delays of five to ten minutes as crews replace the asphalt. The road is anticipated to reopen around noon.
