==Transportation== [[U.S. Route 40 in Utah|U.S. Route 40]] and [[U.S. Route 189#Utah|U.S. Route 189]] both cross the city. [[Interstate 80 in Utah|Interstate 80]] is located approximately eighteen miles north of the city and can be accessed via Highway 40, while [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]] can be accessed via Highway 189 through [[Provo Canyon]] and is approximately twenty-five miles away. A typical drive to downtown Salt Lake City is 45 to 60 minutes.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZsM1AQAAMAAJ&q=Heber+City,+Utah+freeway|title=UT-52 and US-189, Utah Valley to Heber Valley: Environmental Impact Statement|date=1979|language=en}}</ref> Heber City was connected to [[Provo, Utah|Provo]] by a {{convert|32|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} railroad line. The line, completed in 1899, was used by [[Denver & Rio Grande Western]] until 1967. Today, a portion of the line is used by the famous [[Heber Valley Railroad]], a heritage railroad open to the public. The [[Heber City Municipal Airport]], or Russ McDonald Field, FAA identifier HCR, is located two miles south of the city, near the junction of [[U.S. Route 40 in Utah|U.S. Route 40]] and [[U.S. Route 189#Utah|U.S. Route 189]], and is capable of handling aircraft up to large corporate jets, including Gulfstreams and Global Express. Approximately 85 aircraft are based at the airport. The airport is served by a GPS instrument approach procedure, allowing aircraft to arrive at the airport in adverse weather. During the winter ski season, and particularly the [[Sundance Film Festival]], the airport is crowded with corporate jets as it is the closest airport to [[Park City, Utah|Park City]]. The airport is also home to the Heber Valley Airshow, held each summer. The nearest airports with commercial airline service are [[Provo Municipal Airport]] (35 miles) and [[Salt Lake City International Airport]] (49 miles). [[High Valley Transit]] provides free local transit in Heber City, with the 106 providing service to Park City, where connections are available to Kamas Valley, [[Kimball Junction Transit Center|Kimball Junction]] and Salt Lake City. <ref>{{Cite web |title=High Valley Transit {{!}} Free, Public Transportation in Utah's Wasatch Back |url=https://www.highvalleytransit.org/ |access-date=2024-06-07 |website=High Valley Transit {{!}} Free, Public Transportation in Utah's Wasatch Back |language=en-US}}</ref> There is also a microtransit zone within Heber City. Intercity transportation is provided by two round-trips operated by Salt Lake Express on its Vernal - Salt Lake City route.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://webstore.saltlakeexpress.com/|title=SaltLakeExpress.com | Bus Tickets|website=webstore.saltlakeexpress.com}}</ref>
