The prepared Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) studied a potential transportation corridor in western Davis and Weber counties. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) outlines how to conduct the EIS process. For more detailed information click here to visit the Federal Highway Administration’s website.
 
The environmental process began in 2010. Large and complex EIS’s can take three to seven years to complete. This amount of time is necessary to complete the steps required by NEPA, and to be as thorough as possible to ensure that the best solution is selected. The project team worked closely with the public and other study partners to ensure all options were considered to identify a transportation solution that will benefit mobility in Davis and Weber counties.
