Recent completion of the massive widening and rebuilding of Interstate 15 in Utah County plus the first phase of the Mountain View Corridor in Salt Lake County may help speed traffic, but officials say they are creating an extra drain on already inadequate highway maintenance funds.
So the Legislature is considering increasing annual funding for road maintenance by 1.4 percent — adding an extra $4.56 million — to handle it. It is also looking at a one-time extra appropriation of $790,000 to buy snow removal and other equipment needed for the new extra-wide I-15 segment.
