UDOT representatives briefed the Transportation Coordinating Committee on Nov. 20 about major corridor projects, construction sequencing and active transportation investments across the northern Wasatch Front.
Paul Egbert, Region 1 program manager, said a roughly $2.9 billion project went out to solicitation for a design‑build selection that will run about 10 to 11 months, with construction expected to take about four years after selection. He highlighted Park Lane/Shepherd Lane interchange work near Farmington with pedestrian bridges and a box culvert; he said portions of interchange and bridge work are expected to open next year while other work continues.
Egbert also outlined work on 5600 South and changes to I‑15 alignment, noting paving and girder placement and a phased approach to shift traffic and reduce impacts during construction.
Kendall Drainie, UDOT Region 2 program manager, reviewed capacity projects including a $134 million Bangerter grade separation at 4700 South (punch‑list stage), additional Bangerter interchanges totaling $268 million, an I‑80 auxiliary‑lane project in Tooele County valued at $38.4 million, and the SR‑111 realignment into Herriman ($50 million). Drainie said some large projects are planned for later years (including a $1 billion‑plus Bangerter corridor section and Mountain View Corridor interchanges targeted to start in the late 2020s).
Drainie also described FrontRunner 2x double‑tracking at 11 locations with a current estimate of $3.2 billion, including a Bluffdale station and a maintenance facility, and noted the project is seeking FTA grant funding to fill remaining needs. She highlighted a $10 million shared‑use path (3900–4100 South) funded through the Utah Trail Network and said design finalization and advertising for contractor selection are expected early next year.
Members asked about sequencing to avoid overlapping major construction impacts. Paul and Kendall said they are coordinating project timing—one aim is to advance some projects (for example, Legacy Parkway elements) ahead of I‑15 work to divert traffic and reduce costs and construction time on the I‑15 corridor.
The committee requested follow‑up information and thanked UDOT staff for the presentations.
