Union Pacific Railroad plans to spend more than $13 million to bolster an 84-mile line between Provo and Lynndyl, Utah.

The project calls for removing and installing more than 106,000 ties, renewing surfaces at 88 grade crossings, replacing more than one mile of rail in various curves and spreading 72,000 tons of ballast.

The work is part of UP’s $3.3 billion capital spending program for 2011.
