Project Overview

The bus rapid transit (BRT) project will construct dedicated bus and mixed-flow lanes from Kimball Junction to Old Town to provide frequent, fast, and reliable transit service along SR-224.

Early work activities took place in fall 2025 to prepare for major construction in spring 2026. BRT service on SR-224 is slated to begin in 2028.

U.S. Route 40 Study

U.S. Route 40 I-80 to Jordanelle Areas Study by UDOT logo.

Project Overview

UDOT is conducting two studies in the Summit County and Wasatch County areas โ€” the Phoston Spur & Rail Trail Study and the U.S. Route 40 Corridor Study. Due to the proximity of the study areas, the two study teams are working together to provide information to the public.

The goals of Phoston Spur & Rail Trail Study will be to:โ€‹

  • Improve multimodal, regional, and transportation connections across the state.
  • Connect people to recreational opportunities and destinations.
  • Obtain public input on alternatives.

The goals of U.S. Route 40 Corridor Study will be to:

  • Identify and analyze potential solutions to manage and mitigate future transportation demand on U.S. Route 40.
  • Coordinate with local agencies on multimodal connections around or across the corridor.
  • Obtain public input on proposed solutions.

Re-create 248 Study (Park City Municipal/UDOT)

Re-create 248 logo with road icon on the โ€œRโ€.

Project Overview

The Re-create 248 transit study builds upon past studies that explored various transportation modes, including bus lanes and high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes for the corridor. The study will integrate past findings with the broader short-range transit plan and Park City's park-and-ride strategy to determine transit-forward solutions to move people.

Goals:โ€‹

  • Exploring alternative transportation solutions
  • Balancing regional travel needs
  • Promoting public transportation and park-and-ride facilities
  • Using data to inform decision-making
  • Improving quality of life for residents

The preliminary study was completed in January 2026, and the project is now in the environmental study and preliminary design phase.

Heber Valley Corridor Environmental Impact Statement

Heber Valley Corridor Environmental Impact Statement logo.

Project Overview

UDOT is conducting an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to improve regional and local mobility on US-40 from SR-32 to US-189 and provide opportunities for non-motorized transportation while allowing Heber City to meet its vision for the historic town center.

UDOT published the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on Jan. 7, 2026. This document details what alternatives were considered, potential environmental effects and mitigation, and rationale for identifying Alternative B as the preferred alternative.

Project Overview

UDOT has completed an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to improve regional and local mobility at the I-80 and SR-224 interchange at Kimball Junction and on SR-224 from Kimball Junction through the Olympic Parkway intersection in Summit County, Utah.

After evaluating the information in the Draft EIS, the project file, and public and agency input to date, UDOT has identified Alternative C: Intersection Improvements with Pedestrian Enhancements as the selected alternative in the Final EIS and Record of Decision.

After all project approvals and permits are received, UDOT can move toward implementing the selected alternative, which includes final design and construction.
