The Mountain View Corridor is a planned freeway that will run along the west bench of Salt Lake County and into northwest Utah County. It will start just west of Salt Lake City International Airport, diverging from Interstate 80, and end in Lindon, Utah, connecting to Interstate 15; running north-south at 5600 West for most of its 40 mile plus extent before curving eastward into I-15. Plans call for the majority of the freeway to have five lanes in each direction, including an HOV lane.
Currently the project is in the middle of an Environmental Impact Statement. This process will be completed in late 2007, after which the biggest obstacle will be funding this massive highway project. One proposal under discussion is to make the new freeway a toll road and use a public/private partnership to fund the project.
The communities that the freeway will pass through include:
- Salt Lake City, Utah
- Magna, Utah
- West Valley City, Utah
- Kearns, Utah
- Copperton, Utah
- West Jordan, Utah
- South Jordan, Utah
- Riverton, Utah
- Herriman, Utah
- Bluffdale, Utah
- Draper, Utah
- Camp Williams, Utah
- Eagle Mountain, Utah
- Saratoga Springs, Utah
- Lehi, Utah
- American Fork, Utah
- Pleasant Grove, Utah
- Lindon, Utah
