DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Highway Administration 

Notice of Availability of the Revised 

Record of Decision for the 1800 North 

(SR–37); 2000 West to I–15 Project in 

Utah and Final Federal Agency Actions 

AGENCY: Utah Department of 

Transportation (UDOT), Federal 

Highway Administration (FHWA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of Availability and 

Notice of Limitations on Claims for 

Judicial Review of Actions by UDOT 

and Other Federal Agencies. 

SUMMARY: The FHWA, on behalf of 

UDOT, issuing this notice to announce 

the availability of the Revised Record of 

Decision (ROD) and actions taken by 

UDOT that are final. The actions relate 

to the proposed 1800 North (SR–37); 

2000 West to I–15 project, in the cities 

of Clinton and Sunset, Davis County, 

Utah. Those actions grant licenses, 

permits, and/or approvals for the 

project. 

DATES: This decision became operative 

on October 4, 2024. By this notice, 

FHWA, on behalf of UDOT, is advising 

the public of final agency actions 

subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A claim 

seeking judicial review of the Federal 

agency actions on the highway project 

will be barred unless the claim is filed 

on or before May 15, 2025. If the Federal 

law that authorizes judicial review of a 

claim provides a time period of less 

than 150 days for filing such claim, then 

that shorter time period still applies. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Naomi Kisen, Environmental Program 

Manager, UDOT Environmental 

Services, PO Box 148450, Salt Lake City, 

UT 84114; (801)-965–4005; email: 

nkisen@utah.gov. UDOT’s normal 

business hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

(Mountain Time Zone), Monday through 

Friday, except State and Federal 

holidays. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

environmental review, consultation, and 

other actions required by applicable 

Federal environmental laws for this 

action are being, or have been, carried 

out by UDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 

and a Memorandum of Understanding 

(MOU) dated May 26, 2022, and 

executed by FHWA and UDOT. Under 

the MOU, UDOT is responsible for 

conducting any additional 

environmental review that is required 

for projects that were approved by 

FHWA prior to execution of the MOU. 

The Revised ROD was processed in 

accordance with the MOU, and UDOT is 

the agency responsible for approving the 

Revised ROD. Actions taken by UDOT 

on FHWA’s behalf pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 

327 constitute Federal agency actions 

for purposes of Federal law. Notice is 

hereby given that UDOT has taken final 

agency actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 

139(l)(1) by issuing licenses, permits, 

and/or approvals for the 1800 North 

(SR–37); 2000 West to I–15 project in 

the State of Utah. 

A Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) and section 4(f) 

Evaluation for 1800 North (SR–37); 2000 

West to I–15 project was completed in 

December 2015 and approved through 

the issuance of a ROD on December 21, 

2015, by the FHWA. Alternative F was 

identified as the Selected Alternative in 

the 2015 ROD. Alternative F included 

the widening of 1800 North to a fivelane cross-section; the grade-separation 

of 1800 North and the railroad at 

approximately 500 West; and an 

interchange that avoided the Army Rail 

Shop, a section 4(f) resource. Since the 

original ROD was issued, conditions in 

the project area have changed and 

UDOT completed a re-evaluation of the 

EIS in 2023. As a separate project, the 

Army Rail Shop and associated 

buildings protected by section 4(f) have 

been demolished and avoidance of these 

resources is no longer needed. As a 

result of the EIS Re-evaluation, UDOT 

has identified Alternative D as the new 

Selected Alternative. 

The Project proposes to reduce 

congestion, improve mobility and access 

to I–15, and improve safety and 

operational characteristics on the 1800 

North study corridor. Improvements 

will consist of a new interchange on I– 

15 at 1800 North; a grade-separated 

railroad crossing on 1800 North; and 

widening 1800 North between 2000 

West and Main Street to a five-lane 

cross-section (two travel lanes in each 

direction with a two-way, left-turn lane) 

for most of the corridor. As 1800 North 

approaches 2000 West and Main Street, 

1800 North would require additional 

lanes to accommodate turning 

movements. These improvements were 

identified in the EIS and EIS Reevaluation prepared for the project by 

UDOT as Alternative D. The decision to 

approve Alternative D for the Project 

was based on UDOT’s review of the 

entire record including the 2015 EIS and 

the 2023 EIS Re-evaluation as well as 

technical reports, correspondence, and 

other information developed as part of 

the environmental review process for 

the project. 

The project is identified in UDOT’s 

adopted 2025–2030 State Transportation 

Improvement Program as project 

identification number 15682 with 

funding identified for right-of-way, final 

design and construction. The project is 

also included in the adopted Wasatch 

Front Regional Council (WFRC) 2023– 

2050 Regional Transportation Plan 

approved in May 2024 (as amended in 

August 2024). 

The actions by UDOT, and the laws 

under which such actions were taken, 

are described in the EIS Re-evaluation 

approved on October 16, 2023, and the 

Revised ROD approved on October 4, 

2024, and other documents in the 

project records. The EIS Re-evaluation 

and Revised ROD are available for 

review by contacting UDOT at the 

address provided above. In addition, 

these documents can be viewed and 

downloaded from the project website at 

https://udotinput.utah.gov/1800north.
