MILLCREEK — The upper part of Millcreek Canyon is one of the most beautiful spots in Salt Lake County for hikers and bikers, but right now, it’s also dangerous.

Construction crews are warning visitors to stay out of the area as work continues to improve the roadway.

Despite multiple signs and warnings, some people are entering the closed zone, creating serious safety risks.

“The problem is there’s a lot of open trenches and heavy moving equipment,” said Shelby McCune, project manager with S & L Construction, which is overseeing the work in Millcreek Canyon. “We don’t want someone to get hurt. Any time we see someone in the construction area, we have to stop all operations.”

The Pipeline Trail, a popular route crossing the main road, is where crews most often see unauthorized visitors.
