West Davis Corridor & U.S. 89 Project

WEST DAVIS CORRIDOR

The West Davis Corridor is a new 16-mile, 4-lane divided highway being constructed in western Davis County between the I-15/Legacy Parkway junction at approximately Glovers Lane in Farmington and the future extension of S.R. 193 in West Point. This new highway in Davis County is expected to be complete in 2024 and reduce delays by more than 30 percent on local roads west of I-15.

As part of the project, freeway-style interchanges with on- and off-ramps will be built at the following locations:

• Legacy/I-15 (Farmington) • 950 North (Farmington) • 200 North (Kaysville) • 2700 West (Layton) • 2000 West (Syracuse) • Antelope Drive (Syracuse)

By 2040, the number of homes in western Davis and Weber counties will increase by 65%. This growth is expected to increase travel delays in this area by 62%, even with all other planned projects. The new West Davis Corridor will help address the growing population and meet future transportation needs.

The current project budget is an estimated $800 million. The project is currently under construction, with completion anticipated for summer of 2024.

West Davis will include over 10 miles of new trail and new trail connections to create a consolidated system connecting Emigration Trail to Legacy Parkway Trail. The project is also preserving 1,100 acres of wetlands near the Great Salt Lake to help safeguard the environment.

More information on the West Davis Highway is available on the project website, westdavis.udot.utah.gov. West Davis also has a hotline, (877) 298-1991, as well as a Facebook group, facebook. com/groups/westdavishighway, for questions or comments about the project.

U.S. 89 PROJECT

While the West Davis Corridor project improves traffic on Davis County’s west side, another project reconstructing U.S. 89 will aid traffic flow to the east.

The U.S. 89 project will improve safety and mobility on U.S. 89 and at connections with local cross streets by:

• Widening U.S. 89 to three lanes in each direction from

Main Street in Farmington to

State Route 193 in Layton. • Adding interchanges – bridges over U.S. 89 with on/ off ramps – at 200 North/400

North, Oak Hills Drive, Gordon Avenue and Antelope

Drive. • Adding bridges over U.S. 89 at Nicholls Road and Crestwood Road. • Completing a 3-mile extension of the existing Gordon

Avenue to connect it to U.S. 89.

The project will also improve connections between U.S. 89 and Main Street, S.R. 193 and Interstate 84. Some sections of new frontage road will be constructed to improve access to existing frontage roads and local streets. This will help local traffic access the new interchanges and crossing efficiently.

The frontage roads will include shared shoulders that will also function as a parallel bicycle route.

Work on this project is anticipated to be completed by late 2023. Interchanges with the east-west roads bisecting U.S. 89 should be open by the end of 2022.
