U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) dated May 26, 2022,
and executed by FHWA and UDOT. Actions taken by UDOT on FHWA's behalf

final agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1) by issuing

The project proposes to reconstruct and reconfigure the I-84/US-89
interchange, constructing a bypass route on US-89 from South Weber
Drive (SR-60) to Skyline Drive, constructing a flyover for southbound

provide better mobility by addressing current and future travel demand,
improve safety and operations, improve multimodal connectivity routes
