The Growing Utah Construction Industry

Utah is home to several large construction projects that are excellent opportunities for contractors to take advantage of.

The Mountain View Corridor Extension is a $466 million project that is creating a new corridor to connect Utah and Salt Lake counties. Construction started in early 2024 and is expected to be completed in 2026.

Another large highway project is the $415 million Bangerter Highway Improvements Project. This project will build four new interchanges at 2700 West, 13400 South, 9800 South, and 4700 South. Construction has already begun on the project and is expected to last through the end of 2025.

The Point is 600 acres of land in Utah’s Silicon Slopes, which is a multi-phase project to create the Innovation Community.

The project will create 120,000 square feet of indoor production and warehouse space, 68,000 square feet of covered outdoor space, and 40,000 square feet of office and training space.
