The parallel, three-mile stretches of frontage road crossing what used to be farmland west of the Utah County city of Lehi might seem simple enough, but they are the key first portions of the Mountain View Corridor to open for public use. The project is an ambitious 35-mile freeway, transit and trail system connecting 13 municipalities along the western edge of the Salt Lake Valley.
The $120-million project, known locally as 2100 North, includes design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of the roads, two railroad overpasses, two bridges over the Jordan River and improvements to the river’s trail system.
