UDOT moves ahead on next phase of Mountain View Corridor freeway
November 18, 2025
Public invited to weigh in on plans to transform travel in western Salt Lake County
SALT LAKE CITY (Nov. 18, 2025) – The Utah Department of Transportation is moving forward with the next phase of Mountain View Corridor, releasing plans to convert the current highway into a freeway between Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman and Old Bingham Highway in West Jordan.
The planned improvements include two general purpose lanes in each direction (all built within the existing median), 25 new bridges (including 13 cross streets), and new ramps connecting the future freeway to the existing divided highway. Construction is expected to begin in 2027.
The public is invited to learn more and provide feedback on the environmental reevaluation at a public hearing Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Midas Creek Elementary in Riverton (11901 Park Haven Lane). A short presentation will be shown at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.
A 30-day comment period is open through Dec. 1, 2025. Formal comments can be submitted in the following ways:
- Email: [email protected]
- Phone: 385-386-VIEW (8439)
- Mail: Mountain View Corridor c/o Horrocks (1265 East Fort Union Blvd, Suite 200, Cottonwood Heights, UT 84047)
- In-person at the public hearing
This is the next step in UDOT’s long-term plan to make Mountain View Corridor a fully functioning freeway from I-80 in Salt Lake County to SR-73 in Utah County, with options to bike, walk, and take transit nearby. By 2050, UDOT engineers expect this segment of Mountain View Corridor will see more than 150,000 daily trips.
“Anyone who drives this area knows it’s getting busier every day,” UDOT Project Manager Oanh Le-Spradlin said. “That’s why we’ve planned ahead, so we can transform this highway into a free-flowing freeway that keeps people moving safely and predictably for years to come.”
Mountain View Corridor is using a phased construction approach that is designed to grow with the needs of the community. The first phase of this section began with frontage roads built on the outer edge of the right-of-way to allow future freeway lanes to be built in the middle. “This approach minimizes construction impacts to drivers and residents and businesses nearby,” said Oanh Le-Spradlin.
