The Mona Main Street Improvements project is a $2.19 million federal and local infrastructure effort in Mona that will improve the highway.

Main Street in Mona (historically known as old US-91) functions and is designated as a county roadway rather than a purely municipal city street.

“We were scheduled to start construction directly following the local community celebrations,” said Lynn Ingram, county road superintendent.

However, because of the Long family tragedy, the project was postponed until after the local family burial.

“The project is funded in large part by a $2 million federal grant with a local Juab County/city match,” said Ingram. “The initiative focuses on upgrading vital municipal and transit aspects along the corridor.”

The $2.19 million total allocation consisting of a $2M federal grant and a $449,000 local match will improve the highway.

“There was a shortfall,” said Ingram.

There was a $303,000 gap plus a local match of $53,768 and a construction management services contract.

Ingram said that active bidding and prep occurred through spring 2026, with main construction ramping up after the late-July Mona City celebration.

The project will consist of roadway excavation, grading, and site paving.

Drainage upgrades will included storm drain work, inlet barriers, and smooth pipe installations.

There will be sidewalk and concrete curb/gutter reconstruction.

Also required will be utility adjustments such as raising/reconstructing manholes and catch basins, plus related utility line coordination like moving fire hydrants.

Main Street in Mona links to State Route 54 and Interstate 15 locally.
