By Charles Pekow — More bike lanes may be coming to Morgan County, Utah. The Federal Highway Administration and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) have given final approval to the I-84 Mountain Green Highway Project.
According to UDOT, the plan calls for “a 12-foot-wide shared-use path on the west side (the Trappers Loop Road extension), which would connect with the existing shared-use trail on the north side of SR-167/Old Highway Road, and a six-foot-wide sidewalk on the east side.”
The project also includes a new bridge span over Cottonwood Creek, designed to link with a future trail along the creek—though Morgan County would have to fund and build that trail separately.
Several hurdles remain. Opponents can still file lawsuits until February 2, 2026. The project must also go through design, financing, and construction stages. UDOT notes that “future project phases depend on funding. To date, no funding has been allocated.”
