Public review and feedback of the remaining Bangerter interchange designs sought through July 12

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) invites the public to participate in a hearing later this month for proposed changes to Bangerter Highway between 4100 South in West Valley City and California Avenue in Salt Lake City. Residents, business owners, commuters and other community members can help refine and improve the proposed changes by reviewing the study and its proposed improvements and providing input to the project team through formal comments.

Since 2012, UDOT has worked to remove stoplights from intersections on Bangerter Highway and convert the highway into a freeway. So far, stoplights have been removed from 10 intersections and replaced with freeway-style interchanges, and work is slated to begin on four more at 4700 South, 9800 South, 13400 South and 2700 West within the next year.

Below is a schedule of the upcoming public hearings for the proposed changes along Bangerter Highway between 4100 South and California Avenue. Formal comments may be submitted via mail, email, or at the in-person hearings. More information about the study is available at udot.utah.gov/bangerter4100tocalifornia.

The study is being conducted to evaluate environmental impacts associated with the potential new interchanges, with the goal of minimizing these impacts while meeting local and regional transportation needs.

“Public input is critical in helping us to identify ways we can help everyone who uses Bangerter Highway get where they want to go,” said Alex Fisher-Willis, UDOT project manager. “It helps us make sure our proposed design meets the needs of as many people as possible.”

The study is on track to be finalized with a preferred design adopted in late summer 2023. Currently, partial funding has been allocated to begin construction as early as 2027. This is the last section of Bangerter Highway to be converted into a freeway. According to UDOT traffic projections, when the Bangerter Highway freeway conversion is complete and all stoplights are removed from intersections, the time it takes to drive on Bangerter from I-15 in Draper to the Salt Lake City International Airport will be reduced by up to 20 minutes.
