Gov. Gary R. Herbert ceremonially opened the new $450 million Interstate 15 Tech Corridor project in Lehi on Wednesday by piloting a drone to view the construction area.
It will widen I-15 from four to six lanes in each direction between Thanksgiving Point and Main Street in Lehi. It is the last remaining section of I-15 between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork where the freeway is only four lanes wide.
The project aims to alleviate east-west congestion there by building a new overpass to extend Triumph Boulevard over I-15, plus upgrades to the State Road 92 and 2100 North interchanges. It is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.
The project will construct 17 bridges and include several bike and pedestrian improvements.
