SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Department of Transportation announced Monday that Mirror Lake Highway, S.R. 150, was closed for the season. The highway joins three other seasonal roads in being closed down for the winter.

The seasonal closure will likely last until May, according to UDOT.

The highway is known for getting buried under feet of snow and it could start piling up as soon as this afternoon.

UDOT closed Alpine Loop, S.R. 92, and Guardsman Pass, S.R. 190, earlier this month.
