UDOT is urging the public to be cautious and not hang around slide areas and natural drainages in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
UDOT on its social media posts stated Friday evening that the potential for naturally occurring mudslides and landslides still existed and that the department is closely monitoring daily to determine if and when road closures are needed.
Brown further underscored the unpredictability of the canyon and said the area where mudslides had proven problematic this week wasn't anywhere near the top of his list of likely candidates. This winter and spring, Brown said, have been unlike anything he has witnessed while working for UDOT. "People try to stop and get good footage and try to update Facebook or put it on Instagram," Brown said. "You have no idea the type of debris that could come down and wipe out your car, disable your car in a second."
