Utah’s “Technology Corridor,” a portion of Interstate 15, is No. 1 on the Utah Department of Transportation’s (UDOT) Top 10 list of construction projects for 2018, Deseret News reports. The $450 million project to widen the freeway to six lanes in both directions between state Route 92 and Main Street in Lehi began on Monday, April 2, 2018, and is key to the development of Utah’s Silicon Slopes technology corridor.
