From Wikipedia:
State Route 154 (SR-154) or Bangerter Highway (named after former Utah Governor Norman H. Bangerter) is a partial expressway running west and then north from Draper through western Salt Lake County, eventually reaching the Salt Lake City International Airport in Salt Lake City. Construction began in 1988 after planning for the highway began more than two decades prior. For the next ten years, portions of the highway opened as constructed, with the entire route finished by 1998.
Original plans for the six-lane expressway running through the western suburbs of Salt Lake City placed Bangerter Highway running further north past the Salt Lake City International Airport into Davis County. However, any route north of the airport never reached fruition, whereas the original southerly end of the route was extended from Redwood Road to I-15.

It's nice to see Salt Lake keeping up with their metro growth. They've been developing a very nice freeway system.

I see more intersections are being upgraded to interchanges on the Bangerter Highway.
Nice drive!

UDOT is catching up to make what was a highway/expressway (UT 154) into a full freeway in parts of an area that's developed up to the ROW line. It'll take a few creative ramping plans to eliminate the left exits and squeeze everything in, along with eliminating the diverging diamond at UT 201, but it can be done. The ingress and egress from the airport is about as good as I've seen for a city of that size. They realize that's where the growth is; west until you hit the lake and the desert.
