Alternative Concepts
UDOT identified 17 initial alternative concepts for consideration in the EIS, which included one transit concept, six US-40 concepts, three east bypass concepts, and four west bypass concepts. Three of the west bypass concepts had an option to realign US-189. Alternative concepts were developed using information from previous studies, public comments and traffic analysis conducted by the EIS project team. These alternative concepts were evaluated in a multi-level screening process to determine which alternatives will be carried forward for detailed environmental analysis.

A public comment period was held from October 5 to November 4, 2021 to receive input on the range of alternatives, the criteria used to screen or eliminate alternatives, and identification of any social, economic, and environmental impacts.
