Transportation Projects
Residents and the business community need to be aware of pending road construction projects. ChamberWest staff maintains communication with project leaders, sits on advisory panels for most projects, and visits with local officials to provide input on all road projects affecting our communities. ChamberWest also cooperates with UDOT's "Partners for the Road Ahead" program. The Hard Hat Club was launched to assist businesses impacted by road construction. The Hard Hat Club advertises business promotions and provide alternate maps to congested areas. This page is updated regularly, or you may call the Chamber at 801-977-8755 or sign up for our Week-at-a-Glance e-mails to keep abreast of the latest information as it becomes available.
IN PLANNING STAGES
FUNDED AND IN DESIGN FOR 2011
In early 2010, SB215 passed which allows the county to bond for several road projects. Projects funded include the following in the ChamberWest community:
- Additional lane on 5400 South between 4000 West and Bangerter Highway in Taylorsville.
- Improvements to Bangerter Highway and SR201 (2100 South) Interchange in West Valley City.
- CFI Intersections at 3100 South, 4100 South, 6200 South and 7000 South along Bangerter Highway (like 3500 South CFI) in West Valley City and Taylorsville.
- Grade separated at 7800 South and Bangerter Highway
- Adding 2-lanes along 5400 South between 4000 West and 4800 West in Kearns.
- Southbound off-ramp from I-215 at 3800 South by Costco to reduce congestion at 3500 South/I-215 when light rail becomes operational.
