UDOT finalizes a $264.5 million transportation plan for Big Cottonwood Canyon that includes a new 1,750-stall parking structure and mobility hub.
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has issued a record of decision for its Big Cottonwood Canyon environmental assessment, greenlighting final design work for a series of infrastructure improvements aimed at reducing congestion. The project includes the construction of a 1,750-stall parking structure and mobility hub near the intersection of Fort Union and Wasatch boulevards, as well as a grade-separated intersection to streamline access. Additional upgrades feature indoor bus stops at Solitude and Brighton resorts, new pedestrian safety features, and dedicated bus lanes intended to shift transit frequency from 30 minutes to 15 minutes, with an ultimate goal of 7-minute service by 2050.
To further manage canyon traffic, UDOT intends to implement variable-priced tolling to incentivize carpooling and transit use. Officials estimate the combined improvements could cut canyon travel times in half by 2050. While the project is part of a larger $264.5 million capital plan that also covers separate transportation efforts in Little Cottonwood Canyon, implementation of some features could begin as early as the 2028 winter season.
