Can anyone confirm if this issue with traffic on US-191 is an ongoing thing or was it just temporary.
We are picking up an RV in American Fork taking it to Florida in two weeks, our plan was to head south on 191, looking for I40 but if there is construction we may just head east on I70 instead.
I will say that if you avoid going into Moab between 3 and 7 p.m., you should be in good shape. Yes, there will be delays (maybe an extra 5-10 minutes) but it seems the traffic heading back into town after a day of 4x4, hiking, biking, visiting Arches or Canyonlands etc. is what causes the worst problems.
As for taking I-70, if you are thinking about that route keep an eye on the weather. We had a decent snowfall a few days ago (10" on our deck at 5900'). We are firmly into the time when snow on the passes is a distinct possibility. Not necessarily fun with a new RV you're just getting used to.
