ST. GEORGE — An $86 million federal grant awarded to the Utah Department of Transportation will allow for the construction of two new highway underpasses in St. George.
UDOT announced Thursday the grant provided through the Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhood program will make way for underpasses connecting 400 East and 900 South and provide new access points beneath Interstate 15.
