By Charles Pekow — Additional bicycle crossings have been approved along I-15 between Salt Lake City and Farmington, Utah. The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has finalized an updated plan for the highway, pending potential legal challenges before March.
According to UDOT, the plan aims to significantly enhance safety and improve the experience for pedestrians and bicyclists at existing interchanges within the social environment evaluation area. The interchanges included in the plan are:
- 200 West in Farmington
- Parrish Lane in Centerville
- 400 North in Bountiful and West Bountiful
- 500 South in Bountiful, West Bountiful, and Woods Cross
- 1100 North/2600 South in North Salt Lake and Woods Cross
- 1000 North in Salt Lake City
- 600 North in Salt Lake City
UDOT explains that all these interchanges will feature wider, safer facilities specifically designed for pedestrians and bicyclists. Additional roadway improvements, such as signal-controlled turn movements at interchange terminals and perpendicular intersection designs, will further enhance safety and improve the user experience for those crossing I-15 at these locations.
