Notice is hereby given that UDOT has taken final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139( l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, and/or approvals for the I-84/US-89 Interchange Reconstruction project in the State of Utah.
The project proposes to reconstruct and reconfigure the I-84/US-89 interchange, constructing a bypass route on US-89 from South Weber Drive (SR-60) to Skyline Drive, constructing a flyover for southbound Harrison Boulevard (SR-203) to US-89, and to improve multimodal transportation networks in the area.
