Show More Road Construction, Detours, and Delays Lie in the Future November 29, 2003 Hearing for I-15 Tuesday HEARING: 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Browning Room of Ogden Union Station, 2501 Wall Ave. BY MATTHEW EVANS_ Standard-Examiner staff mevans@standard.net OGDEN State transportation leaders are thinking about overhauling a local stretch of Interstate 15. First, though, they want to hear from the public. The Utah Department of Transportation's proposed $180 million project would widen a nine-mile stretch of I-15 between 31th Street in Ogden and 2700 North in Farr West. It would likely torment travelers for two years, starting in 2006, as construction crews replace aging asphalt and build interchanges along the route. "We have several different options we're looking at; we'll go over them all at the (Tuesday night) public hearing," said Brent DeYoung, the senior project manager. In the works for two years, the proposal calls for expanding I-15 to either three or four lanes in each direction, through Ogden, West Haven, Marriott-Slaterville, Farr West and unincorporated parts of Weber County. In-terchanges at 31st Street and 24th Street in Ogden would be rebuilt, too. The improvements would alleviate traffic problems along the route, DeYoung said, and crumbling roadway would be replaced. "Right now the pavement is getting very expensive to maintain," he said. "If we don't do this, we would be out there every few years keeping it in a serviceable condition." Funding through the Centennial Highway Fund likely Standard-Examiner won't be available until 2006, however. Environmental studies are complete, and the design phase of the project would likely start in 2005, with con-struction getting under way in 2006 and finishing in fall 2007. The aim is to keep all four lanes open to traffic, but travelers could be in store for delays once the work starts. "We'll try hard to minimize the impact on motorists, but with a project this size, you'll probably see some temporary closures while it's under construction," DeYoung said. Standard-Examiner |
