The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have prepared the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) on the I-15 Corridor from Utah County to Salt Lake County.

Responses to all of the more than 450 Draft EIS comments are included in the FEIS. Comments were received from federal and state agencies, local governments, and the general public during the Public Comment Period (Nov. 23, 2007 through Jan. 11, 2008). After careful consideration of technical analysis and public comment, the Joint Lead Agencies (UDOT and FHWA) have selected the I-15 Widening and Reconstruction Alternative, with Option C at American Fork Main Street and Option D in the Provo/Orem area, as their Preferred Alternative for the FEIS.

The FEIS will be available for public review until Monday, July 28, 2008. Hard copies of the FEIS are available for the public to review at local libraries and UDOT offices. Click here for a complete list of FEIS public viewing locations.

The 2008 Utah State Legislature identified 2.6 billion dollars to fund the future widening and reconstruction of I-15 from American Fork Main Street interchange to Spanish Fork US-6 interchange. Construction could start as early as spring 2010.

A Record of Decision (ROD) will be prepared that formalizes the selection of a preferred alternative and concludes the NEPA process. The ROD is anticipated to be signed in late summer 2008.
