Overview The planning portion of the project is organized into two general phases. Phase 1 includes conducting a corridor study to identify current and future corridor needs. Phase 2 will involve the development of an environmental document that evaluates alternatives and their potential impacts on the adjacent environment. Phase 1 – Details The Utah Department of Transportation is conducting a corridor study on 17.54 miles of State Route 30 from Interstate15 (I-15) to Logan 1000 west (10th West or S.R. 252). UDOT recognizes the importance of the S.R. 30 corridor to the communities within Box Elder and Cache counties and is committed to meeting the short and long-term needs of the traveling public while ensuring the continued efficiency of this important route. The purpose of the corridor study is to identify and document areas that may need operational and safety improvement. A targeted public engagement program was conducted as part of the S.R. 30 Corridor Study. The purpose of the outreach effort was to seek input from key stakeholders, local governments, state and federal agencies with associated opportunities for input from the general public. Specific input was invited on the locations that need improvement along the corridor and environmental concerns from those improvements. The study also included analysis of safety data and current and projected future traffic volumes. .

For the study, the team will be making presentations to local government councils and commissions. The public is welcome to attend these meetings to learn more about the study. Phase 2 – Details Based on the recommendations of the Phase 1 corridor study, it is anticipated that Phase 2 will involve completion of an environmental document for the portion of the corridor that the team determines needs improvements, but believe that the improvements may have impacts to the adjacent environment. The environmental process will include activities to evaluate alternative improvements and their potential impacts prior to making final project recommendations. The specific proposed limits for the environmental study area, along with the goals for Phase 2 will be developed at the conclusion of the corridor study in Phase 1. Phase 2 will include opportunities for public input and coordination with local governments and interested stakeholders to gather input for consideration in developing the final recommendations.
