UDOT asks for public input on future rural transportation projects

Traffic congestion on Heber City Main Street, including from highways 40 and 189, is a primary focus in UDOT's ongoing environmental impact study.

State transportation authorities have released the long-range transportation plan for Utah’s rural counties. It includes almost 100 projects in the Wasatch Back.

The Utah Department of Transportation has asked the public to weigh in on nearly 800 projects in the works.

The projects are scheduled from now to 2050, and some are already underway; 98 of them are in Summit and Wasatch counties.

Some of the higher-profile ongoing projects in the plan are the Kimball Junction traffic study, state Route 224’s dedicated bus lanes and various U.S. Highway 40 improvements, including a new westbound passing lane between Heber City and Mayflower.

UDOT is also entertaining larger-scale projects that could be years if not decades away. Those include a new climbing lane eastbound in Parleys Canyon, widening state Routes 32 and 35 and connecting Salt Lake City and Moab with a rail trail.

The state is accepting public comment on its rural transportation plans through July 25.
