Planning begins for new I-15 Interchange in Provo

PROVO – Planners met Wednesday to formalize a proposal for a new Interstate 15 interchange at 820 North in Orem.
 
The interchange would be the third for Provo.
 
The city and the Mountainland Association of Governments set a target date of adopting the plan for spring 2016. No date has yet been released on when the interchange might be in place.
 
Further study will include how traffic will effect the area and the possible need of new corridors for future growth of the city.
 
If built, the interchange would provide better east-west access to the interstate and the city and would help relieve traffic on the neighborhoods along University Parkway and Center Street.
 
The new access point also would help commercial and residential developments appearing on Provo's east side.
 
Public comment for the proposal will take place through the winter of 2015.
