The U.S. Department of Transportation is soliciting bids to reconstruct and restore a 1‑mile segment of Delicate Arch Road within Arches National Park, Utah. The work includes designing and constructing three 100‑ft concrete bridges over low‑gradient washes, raising the roadway profile, realigning the road at one wash, and performing full‑depth reclamation or pavement removal with a new overlay on remaining sections. The project requires extensive earthwork, riprap, structural concrete, reinforcing steel, bridge railings, drilled shafts, curb, guardrails, and temporary traffic control. Estimated total cost is $10‑20 million, with an anticipated award in November 2026 and contract completion by December 2028.
