Utah – According to the state officials, one year after opening, the West Davis Highway has improved traffic flow on I-15 in Davis County and local roads. Engineers with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) report that about 28,000 vehicles use the 16-mile, four-lane highway daily.
“That’s 28,000 vehicles that are also not on I-15,” said UDOT Project Manager Corey Nelson. “As northern Utah continues to grow, this highway is critical in preparing for it.”
The highway extends from I-15 near Glovers Lane in Farmington to SR-193 in West Point. UDOT is now planning to expand it further north. This week, officials completed an environmental study for the next phase, which will extend SR-177 to 1800 North in West Point. Major construction is expected to begin in 2026.
Built to accommodate growth in Davis and Weber counties, the highway has provided residents with increased capacity and connectivity.
“It’s honestly a game changer. The smoother, faster route has cut down my daily commute by at least 10-15 minutes each way,” said Syracuse resident Kristin Stewart. “That might not sound like much, but it’s made a huge difference in my day.”
UDOT continues to monitor traffic patterns as planning progresses for future expansion.
