Western Cache Corridor study plans 2027 open houses; county and UDOT give different finish dates
A regional transportation board gets the next update Monday, after the county council heard one Oct. 27.
LOGAN - The Western Cache Corridor study should finish in early 2028, county Public Works Director Matt Phillips told the County Council on Oct. 27, according to the meeting video. UDOT's study page places the final report in a phase ending in fall 2027 and says its timelines can change.
Phillips said public open houses are planned early in 2027 and in summer 2027. The Cache Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO) Executive Council gets the next update at 3:30 p.m. Monday, its agenda shows.
The joint UDOT, county and CMPO study looks at western Cache County for a possible north-south route. CMPO Director Jeff Gilbert said a $2 million federal earmark sought through U.S. Rep. Blake Moore's office pays for it, with a CMPO match of about 7%, draft minutes show.
A study survey drew a little under 3,000 responses, and most favored planning before growth, Phillips said. No route was presented; the council took no action. Watch the update.
Why this matters
UDOT says the study is intended to preserve future transportation options before growth limits choices. Phillips said the planned 2027 open houses would involve the public.
