UDOT Announces Start of Construction on 2100 North in Lehi Construction on the Utah County portion of the Mountain View Corridor begins Tuesday, Jan.19.
SALT LAKE CITY (Jan. 15, 2010) – Roadway construction of the Mountain View Corridor in Utah County begins Tuesday, Jan. 19 on 2100 North in Lehi. The three-mile construction area on 2100 North from Redwood Road to I-15 includes new bridges at the Jordan River, the future FrontRunner line and a set of bridges just west of the river for a community crossing. Anticipated completion of construction is Fall 2011.
Initial construction activities include the following:
- Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 19, 1200 West will be closed from Pointe Meadow Drive (near the LDS Church) to where it intersects with Thanksgiving Way. This section of the road will be closed for approximately one year. Motorists should use 2100 North.
- At the Park & Ride, parking will be restricted approximately 50 feet on either side of Thanksgiving Way. This restriction will accommodate road widening in the area.
- Crews will begin installing a storm drain line along the north edge of the project area between the railroad and the Jordan River.
- The contractor will also begin placing fill material near the Jordan River in preparation for the new bridge.
- Site clearing work will take place along the entire project now through April 15.
UDOT has selected Hadco Construction to assist them in the construction of the Mountain View Corridor in Utah County.
The initial construction project on 2100 North is a frontage road system that consists of two lanes in each direction with signalized intersections. Future construction will expand the corridor over time by adding more lanes when it is needed to meet traffic demands and as funding is available. This phased approach is part of the overall MVC plan to address short-term regional transportation needs while providing for a long-term solution for the future. The full freeway build out is not currently funded and would require additional environmental study in order to be constructed.
The Mountain View Corridor is a planned freeway, transit and trail system in western Salt Lake and northwestern Utah counties, servicing 13 municipalities in the project area. To meet projected transportation demands in the year 2030, the full build-out includes a freeway that connects with Interstate 80 at 5800 West in Salt Lake City in the north and Interstate 15 at 2100 North in Lehi in the south. The transit component of the project is a high-capacity service line on 5600 West in Salt Lake County that connects with both the planned Airport Extension at the International Center and Mid-Jordan Line in South Jordan.
