MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In Fall 2023, UDOT began designing the freeway segment of MVC from Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman to Old Bingham Highway in West Jordan. Construction on this segment of the corridor is anticipated to begin in 2027, following completion of the current construction in Utah County between 2100 North in Lehi and Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman. Completion of this southern Salt Lake County freeway segment will provide a continuous freeway system between Lehi and West Jordan.
In Fall 2023, UDOT began designing the freeway segment of MVC from Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman to Old Bingham Highway in West Jordan. Construction on this segment of the corridor is anticipated to begin in late 2026, following completion of the current construction in Utah County between 2100 North in Lehi and Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman. Completion of this southern Salt Lake County freeway segment will provide a continuous freeway system between Lehi and West Jordan.
The MVC projects use phased construction approaches designed to balance transportation needs with available funds, which is why the full freeway wasn’t constructed from the beginning. However, to minimize future impacts, UDOT acquired all of the right-of-way necessary to construct the full freeway in the future. This phased construction approach was evaluated and selected in MVC's environmental document. Learn more about this process in volume 6 chapter 36 of the environmental document (click here to view).
MVC was designed to be able to grow with the needs of the community. The existing one-way northbound and southbound frontage roads are built to the outer edge of the right-of-way to allow for the future freeway lanes to be built in the middle.
UDOT is currently conducting a study to evaluate a possible 10-mile extension of MVC to Redwood Road near Pelican Point. To learn more about this study, please contact the project team using the information below.

MVC currently includes a 27-mile multi-use trail and 22 pedestrian and bicycle bridges and crossings, which run adjacent to the entire corridor. Additionally, there are nine miles of striped bike lanes that run in each direction from Porter Rockwell Blvd. to Old Bingham Highway.
There will be an additional six miles of trail added as the MVC roadway segments are completed. Trail will be added between Porter Rockwell Boulevard and 2100 North (four miles) and California Avenue and I-80 (two miles).
Yes, there are designated parking locations for the Mountain View Corridor Trail. View the interactive map for specific trail parking locations.
As a way to improve roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian safety, UDOT has constructed bike boxes along MVC. Visit UDOT’s Bike Box page to learn how to navigate.
The original 2008 Record of Decision (ROD) included a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system along a five-mile section of 5600 West that would be extended and converted into Light Rail (LRT). Ultimately, due to funding constraints and local government planning, the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) decided not to adopt this plan.
In 2019, a Re-Evaluation was conducted to determine a new transit plan. UDOT and UTA selected Express Bus as the transit mode along the same route outlined in the 2008 ROD. Express Bus was determined to be a better alternative due to current land use conditions, the travel demand, funding constraints and transit priorities. The proposed Express Bus will run from Downtown Salt Lake City to the existing TRAX Station at Old Bingham Highway (click here to view).
In accordance with the UDOT Noise Abatement Policy, several conditions must be met before traffic noise abatement measures are implemented. To read more about what factors play a part in determining mitigation measures, visit udot.utah.gov/connect/public/noise-walls
For residents who live between Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman and Old Bingham Highway in West Jordan:
The freeway design of Mountain View Corridor is still in progress. In late 2025, a noise analysis will be conducted to evaluate potential noise walls throughout the project corridor. For more information on UDOT’s Noise Abatement Policy, visit udot.utah.gov/connect/public/noise-walls.
For residents who live between 2100 North in Lehi and Cory Wride Highway in Saratoga Springs:
For the current construction project, a noise study was conducted, and it was determined that your area did not meet the criteria for noise abatement measures. You can view the full noise study report here. When UDOT begins design on the future MVC Extension Project (2100 North to Cory Wride Highway) additional noise analysis will be conducted to evaluate potential noise walls throughout the project corridor. It is anticipated that design will begin in 2026.
