Mountain View Corridor opens with a party—four months ahead of schedule!
Before Mountain View Corridor opened to vehicles, hundreds of families plus public officials and a VIP in a red suit got to try out the freeway for themselves!
Utah Department of Transportation threw a North Pole Party on Friday to celebrate the opening of the new corridor four months ahead of schedule. Project and community partners joined in the fun by decorating their vehicles with a holiday theme.
Ames and joint venture partner Staker Parson broke ground on the 4-mile corridor from Lehi to Herriman in late 2023. The corridor provides two travel lanes in each direction and a 12-foot-wide, multiuse trail with seven grade-separated crossings. Crews constructed 10 bridges: five for vehicles and five for pedestrians.
The corridor passes between the Utah National Guard’s Camp Williams and a federal facility. With key intersection improvements, trails, and regional connectivity, the corridor will especially benefit the U.S. military and military families.
In the works for nearly a decade, the corridor is part of a larger goal to build a 35-mile freeway from I-80 in Salt Lake County to State Route 73 in Utah County.
Thank you to our client, UDOT, our project partners, and the community for supporting this project, and the dedicated craft workers who made it possible.
