Overview

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA), in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), to evaluate potential improvements to the South Cedar Interchange (Exit 57) of I-15 in Cedar City. This EA considers current and future transportation needs while taking into account any potential impacts to the natural and built environments.
