Utah Department of Transportation’s Mountain View Corridor from Porter Rockwell to 2100 North plays a key role in supporting the region’s rapid growth. Utah County has been one of the nation’s fastest-growing counties for several years, with a population now more than five times larger than in the 1960s—underscoring the need for significant transportation investment. To help meet that demand, the Utah Department of Transportation built the Mountain View Corridor: Porter Rockwell to 2100 North project, which added a four‑mile, two‑lane north–south freeway connecting Salt Lake and Utah counties. The project provides a critical new route for commuters and residents in a previously undeveloped area and represents a key advancement in strengthening transportation connectivity along the western Wasatch Front. Prior to construction, Redwood Road – the primary connector in the area – was among the most congested corridors in Utah County, trailing only I‑15 and Pioneer Street. Now complete, the $290.71 million project has reduced delays by an estimated 75 percent by directly addressing bottlenecks. It also expanded multimodal connectivity, adding five miles of trail to the Mountain View Corridor system, bringing the total to 27 miles of multi‑use trails and 35 pedestrian bridges. The trails were intentionally set back from the roadway to enhance safety while improving the corridor’s overall aesthetics.
