By Charles Pekow — The I-15 24th Street Interchange Project in Ogden City, Utah, has received final approval from the Federal Highway Administration and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT). The project aims to improve biking access to downtown Ogden. Unless legal action is taken by May 9 to block it, the project will move forward.
According to UDOT, the plan includes a 10-foot-wide shared-use path starting at 1900 West and extending east along the north side of New Midland Drive. Near the new interchange, the path will turn north at Pennsylvania Avenue, pass under I-15, and end at the 24th Street/25th Street intersection. Spanning 1.8 miles, the path will connect industrial and commercial areas west of I-15 with residential neighborhoods east of I-15, promoting active transportation. The design also positions active transportation users near facilities with lower traffic volumes compared to current conditions.
