5400 SOUTH WIDENING

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) completed a State Environmental Study for 5400 South from Bangerter Highway to 4800 West in the communities of Kearns and Taylorsville. The need to widen 5400 South was identified by local community leaders and formalized in the Wasatch Front Regional Council Long Range Plan. For more information see the Project History.

UDOT will continue to partner with Salt Lake County to communicate with the public during construction. Ongoing public communication will help UDOT improve traffic and safety in the area while minimizing impacts to residents, businesses and the traveling public.
