I-15 St. George Improved
I-15 St. George Improved
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA), in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to determine the need for a new interchange on I-15 and 700 South, evaluate interchange alternatives, and identify environmental impacts. The process examined alternatives that would improve regional mobility in the St. George area, ensure safe travel on I-15, and support active transportation.
The EA process began in April 2022 and the environmental document, including a description of the Preferred Alternative for an interchange at I-15 and 700 South, is now available for review.
Environmental Assessment | Appendix A | Appendix B
The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being or have been carried-out by UDOT pursuant to 23 USC 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 26, 2022, and executed by FHWA and UDOT.
This EA evaluated environmental and community impacts and identified improvements to address current and future mobility needs.
As part of the environmental process, there was a total of three comment periods where the public was encouraged to provide feedback - during the Scoping Phase, during the Alternatives Development Phase, and in coordination with the Public Hearings when the EA was released.
