Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake County is now open from 4100 South to SR-201

By Completed Project

This 4-mile extension of the Mountain View Corridor project is now connecting with a major east-west route SR-201. Completed as of June 2021, the new network access is making a difference by providing much needed new transportation corridors including 13 bridges and 6 pedestrian bridges in this section.

Meridian has been involved since 2009 with the overall development of Mountain View Corridor working with the prime designer HDR. Meridian provided Right-of-Way design throughout Utah County and Salt Lake County, with the recent section from 4100 South to 1300 South (California Avenue).

South bound Ramp to Mountain View Corridor from SR-201

The Corridor began in 2003 when committees were formed to determine the growth of the state. Funding was achieved in 2008, and the first section opened in 2011 in Utah County (2100 North). A year later a 15-mile section opened through Herriman, proceeding to 5400 South in West Valley City. Mountain View corridor extends from SR-73 in Saratoga Springs to Redwood Road at 2100 North in Lehi and from Porter Rockwell at Redwood Road in Bluffdale to SR-201. Eventually, it will cover nearly 34 miles between Interstate 80 in Salt Lake City to SR-73 in Saratoga Springs and will become a full freeway itself.

DNR North East State Park projects awarded to Meridian Engineering by DFCM and DNR.

By Project Progress

As the prime consultant to DFCM, Meridian is working with subconsultants MGB+A, SPE Architecture, Colvin Engineering and WHW to design 4 separate projects cohesively. These projects consist of Jordanelle’s Rock Cliff campground expansion and Ross Creek day use area, Rockport Reservoir’s Cedar Point new day use area, and a new campground at Deer Creek Reservoir. Total construction value is approximately $16 million.

The projects have simultaneously kicked off early July 2021 for quick design execution, with the goal of completing construction documents this fall and starting construction in December 2021 to meet legislative funding requirements. Coordination with existing utility agencies, UAS flights and conventional topography surveys for each location along with schematic design is underway.

Look forward to getting out and enjoying some of these new planned recreational areas expected to be ready for Utah recreators in the summer of 2022.

The Juniper Student Center and Classroom Building will bring the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College under one roof to offer students a unique set of higher education options and opportunities. Construction was recently awarded to Big-D and slated to be complete in 2023. This building will set the tone for future institutional buildings to be placed in that area. Location is approximately 14400 South and 3500 West.

Weber State University Noorda Engineering and Technology Building Construction underway!

By Project Progress

With the design phase complete, this 135,000 sf building named after Ray Noorda – “father of computing” and former CEO of Novell – is currently being constructed by Big-D. Slated to be complete in 2022, the building will be the new home for electrical, mechanical and systems engineering, computer science, professional sales departments and engineering technology. Four centers will also be housed in the building: The Concept Center, the Center for Technology Outreach, the National Center for Automotive Science & Technology and the Alan E. Hall Center for Sales Excellence.
