Mountain View plan for Salt Lake County

Mountain View plan for Utah County

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 a HOV lane.
