Intended to address short-term regional transportation concerns while providing a long-term solution for the future, Utah’s Mountain View Corridor Project is using a phased construction approach to balance transportation needs with available funds. “Growth in western Salt Lake County is increasing, and additional transportation infrastructure is needed to support the growth,” said Codee Raymond, Utah
The current construction includes building embankment, structures, trails and paving.

Department of Transportation (UDOT) resident engineer. “MVC provided a north-south option for both vehicles and trail users on the west side of the valley. We are currently constructing a segment that will connect to SR-201 in summer 2021.” Raymond said the growth that’s occurred over the last decade has outpaced the existing transportation infrastructure. “The construction of MVC will address short-term regional transportation needs. The connection to SR-201 is needed now to support the growth that has already occurred.” The project has been in the
works for years. Numerous efforts have been made to raise awareness among residents and future users of the new roadway and facilities. According to UDOT’s website, during initial construction of MVC in Salt Lake County, UDOT built two lanes in each direction from Redwood Road (at approximately 16000 South) to 4100 South (between 5600 West and 6000 West). Initial construction includes frontage roads in each direction from 16000 South to Old Bingham Highway with signalized intersections and bike lanes. North of Old Bingham Highway, UDOT built the outside lanes of the future freeway in each direction and the
future on and off ramps. A biking and walking trail runs adjacent to the entire corridor. In Utah County, a 3-mi. frontage road system was built from Redwood Road to I-15 on 2100 North in Lehi. The frontage road system consists of two lanes in each direction with signalized intersections where MVC crosses local roads. Land is preserved in the middle for future expansion. Future phases will build out the remainder of the corridor by converting intersections to interchanges and adding inside lanes to achieve a fully functional freeway.
