UDOT Right-of-Way

UDOT Permit: On State Roads, all work performed in the roadway (from back of curb to back of curb) requires UDOT approval and a UDOT Permit, and MUST conform to UDOT standards.

City Permit: All work performed in the UDOT Right-of-Way (from back of curb to Right-of-Way line) requires an Engineering Permit from Ogden City, and MUST conform to Ogden City Standards.

Both Permits Required: If your work takes place in both the roadway AND the city-maintained portion of the Right-of-Way, then permits and inspections from BOTH agencies are required.

Right-of-Way Widths

Because Right-of-Way widths may differ from street-to-street, and there are times that the ROW line is located several feet behind the sidewalk or curb, it is recommended that you contact the Engineering Division at 801-629-8990 to verify ROW location and width. 

Who Can Work in the Right-of-Way?

Only Licensed Professional Contractors, who are insured and bonded with Ogden City, and who have a valid Engineering Permit may work in the Ogden City Right-of-Way.  See the Permits page for more information.

Working Near Trees in the Right-of-Way

Trees in the park strip and other areas of the Right-of-Way are owned and maintained by Ogden City.  All concerns dealing with tree trimming, broken branches or the general health of city trees should be directed to the Ogden City Urban Forester (801-629-8284)

Contractors working in the Right-of-Way must also take measures to protect the city trees. Please see document linked below:
