$87 million federal grant to construct two interstate underpasses will help connect St. George neighborhoods and reduce traffic congestion.
St. George leaders ecstatic over $87 million grant to construct new I-15 underpasses, ease traffic woes
Flush with the recent news that the state is receiving $87.6 million for the underpasses from the federal Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhood program, St. George Mayor Michele Randall heralded the news as a major boost in the city’s effort to reduce traffic congestion. Kevin Kitchen, region four communications manager for UDOT, said the combined cost for both projects is estimated to be $194.7 million. That would fund the widening of I-15 between the two exits and raising the highway’s height to accommodate the two new underpasses.
“From my perspective, having to detour a mile or two to cross the interstate doesn’t seem that long, but if you have to walk or bike a mile or two extra, that can determine whether it is feasible to travel that way,” Sutton said, adding that the new underpasses would reduce traffic logjams on Bluff and 700 South streets.
