Project Overview
About SR-177 (West Davis)
UDOT is currently finalizing plans for a 2.5-mile extension of SR-177 (West Davis Highway) from SR-193 to 1800 North in West Point. The project will extend the four-lane highway with a new interchange at SR-193, bridges over 300 North, 800 North and 1300 North, and an intersection at 1800 North. The project will also extend the Emigrant Trail from 1300 North to connect to the existing trail on 5500 West in Weber County.
Initially, when the environmental study was completed in 2017, UDOT proposed one lane in each direction in this area, as that’s what travel models suggested at the time. With all the growth that Davis County is experiencing, two lanes in each direction are now needed. The alignment that was decided in 2017 remains unchanged.
By 2050, the number of homes in western Davis and Weber counties will increase by 74%. This growth is expected to substantially increase travel delays, even with all other planned projects. SR-177 will help address the growing population and meet future transportation needs.
