/0 Comments/in Construction Updates /by pennapowersThe Midvalley Highway is now open in Tooele County. The new 4.5 mile roadway includes a new two-lane freeway, new interchange at I-80 and provides a direct connection to S.R 138.
Parachute Lane and Midvalley Highway
Travelers coming from the east on Pole Canyon Road (formerly S.R. 138) and heading to Grantsville will need to stop on Parachute Lane at Midvalley before making a left. As with any stop sign, motorists should only proceed when the road is clear. Note there is an acceleration lane on Midvalley for the safety of those merging from Parachute Lane. Those coming from the east and heading to I-80 will have a free right onto the new Midvalley Highway, again with an acceleration lane onto Midvalley for safety. Those coming from the west and continuing east on Pole Canyon Road will have a free right from Midvalley onto Parachute Lane. Those coming from the west proceeding to I-80 will just continue straight.
