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.
