After years of controversy, federal and state officials gave the final stamp of approval Tuesday to the West Davis Corridor — a 19-mile freeway heading northwest from Legacy Parkway through Davis and Weber counties.
The Utah Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration issued their final record of decision to end the environmental impact statement process, and give a green light to the new freeway.
“This decision has been reached carefully and with great respect for the collaborative efforts of thousands of stakeholders over several years,” UDOT Project Manager Randy Jefferies said.
“We will continue working closely with cities, agencies and other stakeholders as we move into more detailed design for this new corridor,” he said.
