Good morning, Orem.

The Utah Highway Patrol warned drivers during the '100 Deadliest Days' period that ended yesterday and noted 78 traffic deaths—a drop from last summer's 94 but with a rise in motorcycle fatalities—as UDOT halted some construction work Monday night to ease congestion as travelers returned home.

A wildfire started Monday afternoon and forced the Utah Department of Transportation to close both lanes of U.S. Highway 6 between mileposts 187—191.

Eastbound lanes near Thistle Junction and westbound lanes in Price are closed, and drivers are urged to take alternate routes.

A new research paper in The Yale Law Journal explores BYU’s police force history from its 1952 start — detailing undercover work, targeted actions against gay students, and expanded enforcement — to modern controversies that have sparked court cases and policy changes.

The study outlines major events such as historic narcotics raids and protests over campus rules that have shaped policing at BYU.

The Utah Department of Transportation will begin building flex lanes on Pioneer Crossing in Lehi next Monday to ease heavy rush hour traffic and adjust lane directions for morning and evening flows.

The project will last through late 2026—drivers should plan for lane changes and delays during construction.

Utah County's $7M Bridal Veil Falls reconstruction project starts today and will limit access, parking and trail use near the falls for two years—visitors should use alternative routes.
