Gov. Gary R. Herbert uses remote control to pilot a drone in Lehi Wednesday April 25 to get a view of the Utah Department of Transportation’s (UDOT) I-15 Tech Corridor project in Lehi for a pre-construction site tour. The project will widen I-15 with two new lanes in each direction from Lehi Main Street to S.R. 92. It will also alleviate east-west congestion in this busy area by building a bridge at Triumph Boulevard, adding a one-way frontage road system from 2100 North to S.R. 92 and reconstructing those two interchanges. In addition, the project will construct 17 bridges and include several bike and pedestrian improvements.

North frontage road and I-15 at the Thanksgiving Point exit in Lehi, one of the busiest exchanges in the state. Utah Department of Transportation’s (UDOT) I-15 Tech Corridor project in Lehi will widen I-15 with two new lanes in each direction from Lehi Main Street to S.R. 92. It will also alleviate east-west congestion in this busy area by building a bridge at Triumph Boulevard, adding a one-way frontage road system from 2100 North to S.R. 92 and reconstructing those two interchanges. In addition, the project will construct 17 bridges and include several bike and pedestrian improvements.
Gov. Gary R. Herbert ceremonially opened the new $450 million Interstate 15 Tech Corridor project in Lehi on Wednesday by piloting a drone to view the construction area.
It will widen I-15 from four to six lanes in each direction between Thanksgiving Point and Main Street in Lehi. It is the last remaining section of I-15 between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork where the freeway is only four lanes wide.
The project aims to alleviate east-west congestion there by building a new overpass to extend Triumph Boulevard over I-15, plus upgrades to the State Road 92 and 2100 North interchanges. It is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.
The project will construct 17 bridges and include several bike and pedestrian improvements.
