Paul Egbert (UDOT Region 1) and Kendall Drainie (UDOT Region 2) briefed Transcom on major regional projects and schedules, highlighting design‑build solicitations, interchange work and active‑transportation connections.

Egbert said a large design‑build solicitation (described in the presentation as approximately $2.9 billion) went out recently and the selection process will run into next year, after which final design and construction will begin. He reported the Park Lane/Shepherd Lane interchange project near Lagoon and Farmington is progressing and East‑West routes are expected to open before Thanksgiving; the larger I‑15 corridor tasks will continue into subsequent construction seasons.

Egbert also described the Mouth of Weber Canyon project — a progressive design‑build aiming to replace an interchange, river bridges and two railroad bridges — and noted a multi‑year construction timeline for that work. He reviewed 5600 South/I‑15 interchange progress with major earth moving and upcoming bridge work.

Region 2 program manager Kendall Drainie discussed capacity projects including Bangerter Highway at 4700 South (grade separation; project value noted at $134 million, near punch‑list stage), a set of Bangerter South interchanges ($268 million), and other capacity projects in Tooele and Summit counties. Drainie highlighted FrontRunner 2x (double tracking at 11 locations, new Bluffdale station and a $3.2 billion program value) and active transportation investments such as the 3900/4100 South shared‑use path ($10 million) funded through the Utah Trails Network.

Several members thanked UDOT and UTA staff for coordination and noted the value of sequencing projects (for example, advancing Legacy Parkway sections to reduce I‑15 construction impacts).
