S.R. 92 is the main east-west corridor for the communities of Alpine, Highland, Cedar Hills and northeast Lehi, as well as the primary access road for American Fork Canyon. Thousands of vehicles travel this corridor every day for a variety of reasons: for access to and from I-15, local travel or recreational purposes.
This area in northern Utah County is growing at a rapid pace. In order to improve mobility and accessibility, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is expanding S.R. 92 from I-15 to S.R. 74 (Alpine Highway) in Highland.
With this project, UDOT will do the following:
- Widen S.R. 92 to five lanes from I-15 to S.R. 74
- Build "Commuter Lanes" from I-15 to Highland Boulevard. These lanes provide a direct connection to and from I-15 without stopping at traffic signals.
- Construct segments of multi-use trails to enhance the existing trail system in the area.
Construction is scheduled to begin in September of 2009 and is expected to be complete by spring of 2011.
Once the project is complete, S.R. 92 users will experience:
- An improved commute to and from I-15
- Improved and safer access at local intersections
- An expanded trail system
This $139 million project is being constructed with a combination of federal and state funds.
