Officials outline proposed Toll Line Road realignment at Highway 40 to improve truck safety
Summary
County leaders described a UDOT‑driven plan to realign Toll Line Road at Highway 40 in Roosevelt, seeking property acquisitions to close nearby side streets and route truck traffic into the signalized intersection for safety; plans are not finalized and timelines were not provided.
A county official described plans to realign Toll Line Road at Highway 40 in Roosevelt to reduce crash risk and consolidate truck traffic at the signalized intersection.
"They want as few intersections as possible," the Committee member said, arguing UDOT prefers restricted access and that the county has been negotiating property acquisitions so Westville access can be rerouted to 3000 West. Staff framed the change as intended to bring truck traffic to the traffic light rather than leaving turning movements uncontrolled.
Commissioners and staff exchanged details about where the route would connect and whether this is distinct from existing truck‑route work elsewhere. The Committee member said the project "isn't really set in stone yet" and declined to give a firm timetable, noting the county is "working with the landowner" on specific intersections.
The discussion included questions about alternatives and costs: commissioners noted an alternative routing had a roughly "$15,000,000" price tag and said that option was unaffordable. No formal vote or final decision was recorded; commissioners asked staff to continue negotiations and return with more precise plans and timing.
The meeting packet referenced UDOT and local property acquisition efforts; further technical reviews and right‑of‑way steps remain outstanding.
