North Legacy Transportation Corridor Study

Weber County is experiencing tremendous growth and seeing an increasing need for new transportation facilities. In 2001 WFRC and UDOT conducted a study on the North Legacy project in Davis and Weber Counties. However, the study left many issues unresolved in Weber County.

The Wasatch Front Regional Council, UDOT, Weber County and local governments are conducting a supplemental study to the 2001 North Legacy Transportation Corridor Study. The primary objectives of the study include determining a logical connection to I-15 and establishing a corridor alignment and footprint for a future roadway.

Working with project sponsors, affected local governments, resource agencies and the public, the study has identified a potential transportation corridor to be preserved and has documented concerns and other issues that will need to be considered during a future environmental document. Public input and feedback is critical to the decision-making process and early planning for a North Legacy transportation corridor.

Please review the corridor alignment below and provide the study team with your comments.

Options 1 and 2What is the Recommended Corridor Alignment?

Over the course of the study, local cities and Weber County along with UDOT and WFRC have identified a potential transportation corridor for preservation.

Due to potential environmental impacts in the northern section of the corridor, two options will be preserved until future environmental studies are conducted.

The following table compares the environmental impacts between the two options.
