ST. GEORGE — A highway interchange proposed for 700 South is on hold due to financial constraints, according to an environmental assessment released last month by the Utah Department of Transportation.

Despite the postponement, UDOT will move ahead with widening I-15 between St. George Boulevard and Bluff Street.

The environmental assessment, released in late October on the I-15 St. George Improved website, found the widening of I-15 between mile markers 6 and 8 and the accompanying 700 South interchange would have no major negative impact on the area.

Construction is expected to start sometime in 2025 and take 18 months to two years to complete.
