ST. GEORGE — Multiple road and related projects were showcased at the annual Dixie Regional Transportation Expo held Tuesday. There are many continuing projects and some new ones on the horizon, with others set to wrap up sometime this year.
Utah Department of Transportation spokesman Kevin Kitchen said the project of primary focus right now is widening Interstate 15.
"What we're focused on at this point is simply what we've originally looked at and that is widening (Interstate 15) to get a new lane in either direction between the two existing interchanges we have in St. George," he said.
This is set to take place between I-15 exits 6 and 8 (Bluff Street and St. George Boulevard) and is expected to begin in 2025 and take around 18 months to complete. Once underway, this project will also see the replacement of the highway bridges over 700 South.
