Alternatives Development & Screening: Spring 2023 - Summer 2024
The Final Alternative Development and Screening Results Report was published on Sept. 6, 2024. This report outlines improvements made to the originally proposed alternatives including updated screening results, the criteria and measures used to evaluate each alternative, and the screening results of any new alternatives that were evaluated based on public and agency comment received during the comment period on the Draft Alternatives Development and Screening Results Report. This report also identifies Alternatives A and C as moving forward for detailed evaluation in the Draft EIS.
The Draft Alternatives Development and Screening Results Report was published on Feb. 26, 2024. The report identifies criteria and measures for evaluating each multi-modal alternative (potential transportation improvement), details the screening process (how options move forward or are eliminated), and identifies which alternatives are being carried forward for detailed evaluation in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
Scoping: Winter 2022 - Spring 2023
From Dec. 27, 2022 to Jan. 27, 2023, UDOT held a public scoping comment period, providing an opportunity for the community to give input on the proposed alternatives, purpose and need of the project, potential alternative screening criteria, identification of issues the project team should be aware of, and potential new alternatives. UDOT received over 170 comments during the comment period. These are available to view as part of the Scoping Summary Report, along with an FAQ that addresses commonly asked questions.

Kimball Junction & SR-224 Area Plan: 2019 - 2021
UDOT, in partnership with Summit County, completed the Kimball Junction Area Plan in 2021 to develop a range of improvements to reduce congestion and improve multimodal travel and connectivity through the Kimball Junction Area, including the two at-grade intersections on SR-224. The Kimball Junction Area Plan was conducted using UDOT’s Solutions Development planning process which engages stakeholders and the public to develop solutions that match an area’s unique context and transportation needs.
The Area Plan process analyzed several solutions (30) and narrowed the options down to three alternative concepts being evaluated in the EIS. The concepts that we started our EIS analysis with include:
- Taking no action
- (A) Split-diamond interchange and intersection improvements
- (B) Grade-separated intersections with one-way frontage roads to the I-80 interchange
- (C) Intersection improvements with pedestrian enhancements
The Area Plan concepts were further refined in the EIS process to meet 2050 projected traffic growth and applicable design standards.
UDOT is building upon the previous work of the Kimball Junction Area Plan during the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process.
