Spanish Fork Lockouts at the Crossroads of I-15 and US-6
US-6 climbs Spanish Fork Canyon toward Price, and UDOT has been rebuilding it: more than 9,000 feet of median barrier added along about 4 miles beginning in summer 2025, drainage work near Diamond Fork Road for "water, ice, and debris," and a widening at Sheep Creek plus a new interchange at Thistle due in 2027. A fuel or food stop on the way through, after hours behind the wheel, is an easy place to shut the keys inside.
Right at the junction is Canyon Creek, a 240-acre development anchored by Costco, Walmart, Good Earth, and Ace, with Cinemark, Ulta, Petco, and Ross added in a 2017 expansion. Tell us the store you parked nearest when you call. The VERK Industrial Park around the Spanish Fork Airport grew to about 2,680 acres in 2024, aimed at manufacturing, distribution, and data centers, and a company vehicle there needs the business's OK before we open it.
Event parking adds to it. The Spanish Fork Fairgrounds host the Fiesta Days Rodeo each July around Pioneer Day, and the Festival of Colors at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple "draws large crowds." Winter brings its own trouble: Spanish Fork averages about 66 inches of snow a year, by Wikipedia's figures, which makes a lockout in an open lot a cold wait.
