In Parleys Canyon, a $30 million project will widen I-80 to add a new westbound lane for trucks from Jeremy Ranch to Parleys Summit.

UDOT Reveals $1.46B in Projects for 2018

By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) recently announced its list of Top 10 construction projects for 2018, which include 188 highway construction projects scheduled across the state with a combined value of $1.46 billion, said spokesman Zach Whitney. The planned improvements range from small sidewalk and street light

Service

installations, to the rebuilding of a 12-lane section of urban freeway. Projects within the Top 10 include widening and rebuilding freeways, constructing new interchanges or redesigning existing ones, and repaving and upgrading other local/regional highways.

Topping the list is the reconstruction of the I-15 Technology Corridor between Lehi Main Street and SR 92 (Timpanogos Highway), with preliminary work that began April 2. Early activities on the $450

million project include excavation near the frontage road, temporary widening to restripe lanes, removal of a median barrier and placement of a temporary barrier.

More substantial construction activities will begin in mid- to late April.

Drivers and nearby residents can expect work to take place overnight, seven days a week, with lane closures on I-15.

Work is planned to be completed in late 2020, with improvements including:

A massive 222-page transportation bill passed by the Utah Legislature this spring will likely see future highway projects impacting both transit and infrastructure get the green light for funding more quickly than those projects not intermodal.

“I would say the most impactful change would be that we are moving to this intermodal planning,” said Elizabeth Weight, legislative and communications analyst with the Utah Department of Transportation. “Utah Transit Authority is a partner of ours. While they program and build and operate their own system, you can’t ignore that roads and transit benefit each other. The main difference is the funding is going to be prioritized only for new transit infrastructure.”

The bill includes updated scoring criteria to allow government agencies to prioritize projects. Local and state agencies will score the projects with the Utah Transportation Commission making the final determination, Weight said.

“Currently, the funding for the transit agencies comes from local governments, so transit see LEGISLATURE page 4

What Does Legislature’s New Transportation Bill Mean?

LEGISLATURE from page 1

agencies work with local governments. Now state and local governments and transit agencies are going to work together to decide what the revamped prioritization process should look like. That’s a pretty big shift. What this does not change is how much money is appropriated. It will see projects that make better use of both transit and infrastructure given higher priority.”

One example of a project that would be moved higher up the priority list is a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. It includes a lane and stripping for buses, but it is also a roadway project.

“I think we’ll probably see more projects like that,” Weight said.

Another example would be a project that Weight describes as resolving a “last mile problem.”

“I live in suburb and I would have to drive my car to get to a transit stop. That last mile is a barrier to me using transit,” she said.

So, a project that would allow Weight to walk to the transit stop

would again be a higher priority.

The need for the legislation stems from forecasts that see Utah’s population doubling by the year 2050.

“We’re basically building as fast as we can while still doing proactive maintenance so we don’t have to go back and rebuild projects,” Weight said. “We’ve got that finite budget and it’s not practical for us to double our infrastructure at the same speed our population will double. Our population will outpace infrastructure pace. We need to make the best use we can of our transit and roadway infrastructure.”

Another component of the bill is technology.

“Our legislators have been really good at exercising forethought for us to implement technology that will help with optimization of the system,” Weight said. “Down the road, my expectation would be we will be building infrastructure that includes technology to support connected autonomous vehicles.

Right now, that is very much in the

future.”

The biggest impact will be felt by government agencies and the traveling public, Weight said. “I’m hoping what we’ll see is a better optimized system.”

The Salt Lake Chamber also weighed in on how the bill impacts the state’s transportation, calling it the “most talked about and debated of the session,” and one that rebrands and restructures the Utah Transit Authority.

“The 222 pages outline a complete transformation of the state’s transportation governance and funding structures that will help lead Utah to greater economic growth, enhanced quality of life and future prosperity.”

In the blog post on Utahpolicy.com, the Chamber outlined three significant impacts of the bill: 1. “Economic development takes center stage. … Our state’s economic development, transportation and infrastructure investment should not be seen as silos.

They are directly tied to each other

and our state’s growth depends on smart planning that includes consideration of land use and economic development. As such, land use and economic development are now required to be taken into consideration as part of UDOT’s project prioritization criteria. This could include identifying existing, emerging and future job centers and prioritizing infrastructure to serve those areas, particularly where doing so will improve the jobs to housing balance.

2. Transit, transit, transit. Before this legislation, Utah was 1 of only 4 states that didn’t have some sort of state funding for transit. … With our state’s population expected to double over the next 40 years, endlessly building new roads is simply not feasible. There must be a stronger emphasis on a multimodal transportation network that results in more transportation choices within well-planned communities throughout the state. The bill sets forth several mechanisms for state-funded transit projects, including the transfer of approxi-

mately $5 million per year into the new state transit account for statewide transit capital projects. It also empowers counties with (or planning to have) transit service to impose a .20 percent local option sales tax specifically for local transit capital projects or improvements.

3. Electric vehicle infrastructure.

The Chamber has always supported users bearing the primary responsibility for funding Utah’s infrastructure. While there was an increase in registration fees for electric and alternative fuel vehicles, the revenue from these increases will be used to fund electric vehicle infrastructure throughout the state. This achieves a balance between ensuring those who use the roads pay for them equally while also supporting the continued build-out of our statewide electric vehicle infrastructure.”

UDOT Lists Top 10 Projects for 2018 UDOT from page 1

• Two additional travel lanes in each direction; • new bridge over I-15 at Triumph Boulevard (near Mountain Point Medical Center); • one-way frontage roads between SR 92 and 2100 North; • redesigned interchanges at SR 92 and 2100 North; • reconstructed bridges at cross streets and railroad crossings; and • new bike and pedestrian connections.

Rounding out the rest of UDOT’s top 10 are: 2. I-15 Southbound — A $180 million project will widen I-15 in Salt Lake County by adding a new southbound lane from SR 201 to 12300 South. This project also will redesign some of the southbound ramps at the I15/I-215 south interchange to improve traffic flow and will widen 7200 South to three lanes from I-15 to Bingham Junction Boulevard in Midvale. Work will begin this spring and is expected to be complete in late 2019.

Funding for the project will come from state funds. Construction is expected to begin spring 2018 and conclude December 2019.

3. I-215/Redwood Road Diverging Diamond Interchange — In Davis County, this $40 million project will see the reconstruction of I-215 from the I-15 interchange in North Salt Lake to 2100 North. This project also will construct a new Diverging Diamond interchange at Redwood Road and I-215.

Construction started in February and continues through the end of the year.

4. I-80/SR 36 Bridge Replacements

— In Tooele County, UDOT will replace three bridges on I-80 near the SR 36 interchange: eastbound and westbound I-80 over the Union Pacific railroad tracks, and the SR 36 ramp bridge. The project cost is $30 million.

Construction on these bridges will start in late spring and is expected to be complete in summer 2019.

5. Bluff Street — A $51 million project will widen Bluff Street in St. George from 100 South to Sunset Boulevard. Crews will add a lane in each direction and add turn lanes at several intersections. This project started in January and will continue for about 12 months. The project is a fourfold undertaking and will include: • Upgrading and improving all utilities which are buried in the current roadway including storm drain, culinary water, sewer, fiber optics, gas, electrical and an upgraded Advanced Traffic Management System; • increasing capacity by adding an additional northbound and southbound lane from 100 South to 1250 North through this heavily traveled section of roadway; • reconfiguring the intersection at Sunset Boulevard and Bluff Street to improve safety, traffic flow and handle projected traffic increases; and • adding a dedicated right turn lane from westbound St. George Boulevard to northbound Bluff Street which will improve safety and mobility.

6. I-80 — In Parleys Canyon, a $30 million project will widen I-80 to add a new westbound lane for trucks from Jeremy Ranch to Parleys Summit, and add a new wildlife crossing at the summit. In addition, crews will repave the

interstate from Lambs Canyon to Kimball Junction. Construction is under way and is scheduled for completion by the end of the year.

7. Mountain View Corridor — A $41 million project in Utah County will extend Mountain View Corridor from the Redwood Road/2100 North intersection to SR 73. Work will begin this spring and will finish up in 2019.

8. Bangerter Highway — As one of Salt Lake Valley’s largest north-south corridors, Bangerter Highway moves an average of 58,000 vehicles per day.

With continued growth on the west side of the Valley, that number is expected to double by 2040 and without major improvements, delays will increase by four times over the next twenty-five years.

Work continues on the $201 million project to convert four intersections on Bangerter Highway into freeway-style interchanges. New interchanges are under construction at 5400 South, 7000 South, 9000 South, and 11400 South, and are scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.

Currently, Bangerter operates using a series of traffic signals at a majority of its intersections, which has begun causing significant congestion in recent years. This congestion also exists for cross traffic moving east-west. One solution to meet the current and future needs of drivers and the nearby communities is to replace traditional intersections with grade-separated interchanges. Grade-separated interchanges would allow one street to pass over the other. This separation will allow Bangerter to free flow and the cross street to flow more efficiently. By removing traffic signals and creating fewer interruptions, traffic will move more freely and at speeds that are more consistent in all directions.

9. SR 9 — Crews are reconstructing SR 9, the gateway to Zion National Park, through the town of Springdale.

The $19 million project calls for workers to remove the old pavement and replace it with new asphalt and add new pedestrian and bike improvements. This project is scheduled to finish before the peak visitor season.

10. SR 108 — UDOT is entering the second year of a $52 million construction project to widen and reconstruct SR 108 from Antelope Drive to 300 North in Davis County. Work on this project will be completed this fall.

DDI Work Begins Beginning Feb. 22, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began a major project to improve operations at I-215 and Redwood Road in North Salt Lake City by building a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI).

The following work is planned: • Setting concrete barrier on the east side of northbound Redwood Road, from Recreation Way to I-215, to begin widening to the east. The concrete barriers allow workers to safely perform their work behind barrier and keep the traveling public safe from a steep drop-off.

• Travel lanes will be shifted between Recreation Way and I-215 to accommodate one lane in each direction and maintaining the right turn lane.

• The eastbound off ramp will be reduced to one lane to accommodate left and right turns.

• Lanes will be shifted on Redwood Road from I-215 northward to Center Street for widening and drainage installation. Two southbound lanes and one northbound lane will remain open with occasional lane closures during non-peak hours.

• Southbound l-215 lanes from Legacy Highway to 2100 N. will be re-striped and lanes shifted to accommodate shoulder widening at 2100 N. All lanes are anticipated to remain open during this phase, with occasional lane closure outside of peak hours.

• Northbound l-215 will have temporary concrete barriers placed along the outside shoulder to allow crews to build pave a temporary lane safely behind the barrier.
