The Transportation Coordinating Committee meeting held on November 21, 2024, highlighted several significant infrastructure projects aimed at improving traffic flow and safety in Wasatch County and surrounding areas. As the region continues to experience growth, these developments are crucial for accommodating increasing transportation demands.

One of the primary projects discussed is the Ninetieth South expansion, which involves widening the road from a five-lane to a seven-lane section between Redwood Road and 700 West. This project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by next summer. Local residents have expressed frustration with the ongoing construction, as this area is known for heavy traffic, making the improvements both timely and necessary.

Another major focus is the Bangerter Highway South interchanges, which include three key locations: 13004 South, 2700 West, and 9800 South. These interchanges will undergo grade separation, allowing local traffic to navigate over or under the highway. This project aims to alleviate congestion and improve safety at these busy intersections, with completion anticipated by next fall.

Additionally, the committee discussed a related project at 4700 South, which will also feature grade separation as part of the Bangerter Highway improvements. This project is expected to be completed by fall 2025.

Further developments include a widening project on SR 36, extending from Sunset Lane to Stansbury Park, which is currently under construction. This project aims to enhance traffic capacity in the southbound direction. Additionally, plans are in place for widening I-80 and adding an auxiliary lane from Exit 99 to SR 201, with construction expected to begin later this summer.

These infrastructure improvements are essential for managing the growing transportation needs of the community. As these projects progress, they are expected to significantly enhance traffic flow and safety for residents and commuters alike. The committee's ongoing efforts reflect a commitment to addressing the challenges posed by increased population and vehicle use in the region.
