Provo to Nebo Corridor Study

The Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) is conducting a transportation study to address growth and development projected to occur in southern Utah County in the coming decades. The study extends beyond the 2030 Regional Tranportation Plan to evaluate “Future Vision Projects” for 2040.

Corridor Study Highlights:

• Population in southern Utah County is projected to increase by more than 2.5 times by 2040.
• The team has identified alignment possibilities for three corridors: West Connector, Spanish Fork Connector and the South Connector.
• Corridor planning is a proactive approach to provide transportation infrastructure to meet the demands of growth, while minimizing future impacts through corridor preservation.
• Corridor planning and preservation provide tools for local governments to incorporate future corridors into their plans as development comes into the area, connecting southern Utah County communities together with a regional approach.

This website includes information on the project purpose and background and the project schedule/ upcoming meetings. There is an opportunity for public comment, including an interactive map, as well as contacts for the project team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we need more roads?

Today, less than 110,000 individuals live in southern Utah County. The population is projected to grow to as many as 300,000 people living in the area by 2040. This will create demand for additional infrastructure including transportation corridors.

When will these roads be built?

These corridors are projected to be needed in 20 to 30 years. This study can reduce impacts from these future transportation corridors by identifying areas where these improvements might be built in the future and allowing local governments the opportunity to preserve them.

How will these corridors be preserved?

Once the corridors are defined as an outcome of this study, each city in the area and the County would need to adopt these corridors into their local Master Transportation Plans; public hearings would be part of any plan amendment or update. Local governments would determine what tools to employ to guide development in preserving the corridors (setback requirements, land dedications, zoning overlays).

What's New?

The study team has met with stakeholders and the public since last summer to provide input on how transportation corridors developed under this study can best serve communities in the region in the future. Click here for information on study progress and materials from previous meetings.

An Open House on March 25 will provide the opportunity the opportunity to review the 3 corridors and provide your comments.
