Construction on the Virgin River bridge connecting Toquerville, LaVerkin, and Hurricane began on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, according to a November 5 statement from the City of Hurricane. The project involves installing a new fence around the inside portion of the bridge and adding anti-climb sections to designated parts of the existing fence to improve public safety.
The project has an estimated completion date of Wednesday, December 30, 2026. Crews are scheduled to operate on business days, Monday through Friday, and will exit the bridge by 3:00 PM daily to avoid high-traffic periods and ensure afternoon school bus routes are not delayed.
To facilitate safe installation, one traffic lane will be closed at a time, though the city intends to minimize disruptions by limiting closures to a single lane in one direction. Pedestrian access across the bridge will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.
If weather delays or unforeseen circumstances affect the timeline, operations may expand to nights or weekends, with at least 24 hours of advance notice provided if such changes occur.
