Provo City Council discusses new I-15 interchange
Provo’s two freeway exits have a 5-mile stretch between them, creating a high volume of traffic for commuters and residents. The city council is discussing adding another interchange between Center Street and University Parkway. (Preston Crawley)
The Provo City Council discussed plans to add a freeway interchange between the current University Parkway and Center Street exits on I-15 during a Jan. 12 meeting with state legislators.
Provo’s two largest employers, BYU and Utah Valley Hospital, are in the middle of Provo and thus equidistant from both freeway interchanges. Neither exit provides a direct route to either employer, which creates a very large volume of traffic at both exits, and the density of the traffic is more than the current roads can handle.
