Transcom approves funding package for Mountain View Corridor; Herriman leaders say construction could start in 2027
Summary
Herriman officials said regional planners approved final-step funding for a section of the Mountain View Corridor, with construction slated to begin in 2027 from Porter Rockwell to Old Bingham, two lanes each way and an estimated $1 billion price tag for that section.
Mayor Palmer said regional transportation partners have approved final-step funding for a section of the Mountain View Corridor and that work on the project could begin in 2027.
"The plan is to start Mountain View Corridor in 2027 from Porter Rockwell all the way up to Old Bingham," Mayor Palmer said, adding that the section will include "two lanes each direction." He also said the stretch now carries "a $1,000,000,000 price tag." "I think they said there's, like, 45 bridges in this project," he added while describing the scope.
The mayor described the approval as a "final kind of step" through Transcom, the regional transportation committee he said he now sits on. He said the approved funding bucket also includes bridge or overpass work at Mountain View and Ninetieth and at a second location referenced in the recording.
City officials emphasized that the existing frontage roads in southern sections of Mountain View will remain in place, and that a new freeway portion will be constructed in the undeveloped median area. Mayor Palmer said Herriman will see a pause in major impacts once nearby Bangerter Highway work is completed, but that Mountain View construction will follow.
Why it matters: The corridor is a major regional connector; the mayors account indicates the funding approval advances a long-planned project with significant construction, traffic and budget implications for Herriman and neighboring jurisdictions. Officials did not provide a complete financing breakdown or timeline beyond the 2027 start date.
What remains unclear: Officials quoted in the recording gave a project-level cost estimate for the section discussed but did not provide a full contract award schedule, construction phasing, or a complete list of affected intersections and local detours. The mayor said more detailed implementation steps will follow through the Transcom and local permitting processes.
What happens next: Mayor Palmer said the city expects the Mountain View Corridor work to proceed following the completion of Bangerter projects and after Transcom and implementing agencies finalize design and contracting.
