Large Project of the Year Nominee: Foothill Boulevard Extension — Lariat to Pony Express Parkway

CMT Technical Services

The project consisted of the construction of 3.2 miles of new two-lane pavement through an existing farm field between Lariat and Pony Express Parkway in Saratoga Springs. Initially intended to be a frontage road for Mountain View Corridor, this pavement was constructed to UDOT design standards to accommodate current funding and anticipated initial traffic. This project was constructed by Saratoga Springs using MAG funding as a precursor to the construction of this portion of Mountain View Corridor. MVC plans are for upwards of 10 years before construction and current Saratoga traffic demands could not wait that long.

HMA production consisted of 20 paving lots over two summers. Additionally, there were five full days of Stone Matrix Asphalt application. As part of the project, additional work was added to extend the northern terminus up to 400 North and included additional paving on 400 North. In addition to mainline Foothill paving, a number of cross-streets were repaved to provide updated access to neighboring communities and local businesses.
