Weber County's Next Highway: Legacy North

The Wasatch Front Regional Council had deliberated for quite sometime on a corridor for the much anticipated Legacy North Highway. After debating the merits of several corridor proposals, it appears a final contender has been selected for consideration.

This corridor basically starts around 5000 West in Hooper in southern Weber County and then meanders further west in a long arch until it heads east and connects to I-15 in the north.  The idea with this corridor is to avoid disturbing existing homes and subdivisions while also avoiding the disruption of agricultural activities in western Weber County.  This corridor seems to strike a balance between the two.

When finished, this highway will provide an alternative to I-15 and will support the population growth anticipated.  Weber County, with the exception of southern Utah County,  is one of the few places left along the Wasatch Front with open space for further housing development.
