For those of us who don't live in your neighborhood, where is hwy 6?
This is south of Salt Lake City about 50-60 miles, up a canyon that leads to Soldier Summit, then down the other side to Price, UT. Ultimately, it leads to Green River, Utah and I-70. As one poster said, it is a heavily traveled route.
When I was in college at BYU, and then later for a couple of years living in the Provo-Orem area, I used to use this route all the time to get back to Texas.
Hope that helps.
It runs from price utah to spanish fork utah where it cvonnects to I-15. it is the cutoff used by truckers who get off I-70 in green river utah to get to Salt Lake City and points beyond. The railroad cut is the tracks used to bring the coal in from coal country to the central utah power project, the largest power plant in utah.
