The project will cost between $2 billion and $3 billion, and so far the project has $260 million from Salt Lake County and $130 million from Utah County, Dupaix said.

UDOT doesn't expect any federal funds to help supplement the money from the counties, said Teri Newell, project manager for the Mountain View Corridor.

Ultimately the Federal Highway Administration will decide which corridor to implement, Newell said.

So far, about 1,000 people have given comments to UDOT about the corridor and more are expected. Members of the public can give comment until Jan. 24, online, by phone, e-mail or mail. More information about the project is available and comments can be placed at www.udot.utah.gov/mountainview.
