The Utah County Commission meeting on March 20, 2024, kicked off with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance, setting a collaborative tone for the discussions ahead. The highlight of the meeting was a work session with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), focusing on the I-15 interchange project in Spanish Fork.

Darren Bunker, a project manager with UDOT, presented key details about the project, emphasizing its importance for regional mobility. The new interchange aims to improve traffic flow by providing direct access to I-15, alleviating congestion at nearby interchanges on Main Street and Benjamin. This initiative is expected to enhance connectivity for residents and commuters alike.

Bunker noted that the project is part of a broader environmental study, which includes considerations for traffic patterns and community impact. Attendees were provided with a fact sheet containing additional information about the project, encouraging them to reach out with any questions.

The meeting underscored the county's commitment to improving infrastructure and addressing the needs of its growing population. As discussions continue, the anticipated outcomes of this project could significantly reshape transportation in the area, making it a focal point for future developments.
