The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), in coordination with Taylorsville City, prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the proposed construction of a southbound frontage road along Interstate 215 (I-215) between 4100 South and 4700 South in Taylorsville, Utah.
The Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC) has identified an area-wide frontage road system along I-215 in Salt Lake County to relieve demand on local roadways between State Route 201 (SR-201) and 4700 South. This project would be one part of the overall planned frontage road system along I-215. Other segments planned in the frontage road system include a northbound frontage road from 4700 South to SR-201 (entering Phase 2 of development) and a southbound frontage road planned from SR-201 to 3500 South.
The purpose of this project is to improve connectivity from I-215 to the local roadway network within the study area by implementing one link of the planned I-215 frontage road system and thereby improve mobility of people, goods, and services to and from the study area.
The actions by UDOT and the laws under which such actions were taken are described in the EA approved on February 18, 2020, the UDOT FONSI (Finding of No Significant Impact for I-215 Southbound Frontage Road in Salt Lake County, Utah, Project No. F-I215(188)16 approved on February 18, 2020), and other documents in the UDOT project records.
