  (1) UDOT is responsible for:

  (a) maintenance, repairs, and replacement of all structure elements, including decks, parapets, bent caps, beams, columns, footings, abutments, approach slabs, and slope protection;

  (b) maintenance of drains on the structure;

  (c) maintenance of retaining walls;

  (d) fence maintenance on the structure and its approaches and ramps; and

  (e) vegetation control, including mowing, along the state route, as demarcated by access control or Right-of-Way fencing.

  (2) The local jurisdiction is responsible for:

  (a) maintenance of drainage under the structure;

  (b) vegetation control, including mowing, along the local route, as demarcated by access control or Right-of-Way fencing; and

  (c) maintenance of decorative landscaping beyond the UDOT Aesthetics Guideline baseline, as described in R918-6-4(15).

  (3) If the local entity proposes a pavement treatment that would decrease vertical or horizontal clearance under the structure to less than the current standard, or that would potentially compromise the integrity of substructure elements, such work shall be done in consultation with UDOT.
