The contract, awarded by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), will extend the recently completed corridor by roughly three miles.

The planned extension aims to improve both mobility and connectivity for the northern parts of Davis County.
Key components of the project include the construction of nine bridges, two pedestrian crossings, and approximately 70,000t of asphalt paving.
The project also involves moving more than one million cubic yards of borrow material to support new infrastructure.
Granite’s Wells Pit facility will supply 400,000 cubic yards of borrow material along with 350,000t of mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) fill.
In addition, Granite’s West Haven AC Plant is expected to provide 70,000t of hot mix asphalt for the work.
The company added the contract value to its second quarter 2026 committed and awarded projects (CAP).
Granite regional vice-president Jason Klaumann said: “This project represents an important step in continuing the buildout of the West Davis Corridor, improving access and mobility for the growing northern Davis County region. It aligns with our core strengths in structures, paving and materials, and our home market strategy.”
The 2.5-mile extension of SR-177 spans from SR-193 to 1800 North in West Point.
Planned works within this stretch include a new interchange at SR-193, bridges over 300 North, 800 North and 1300 North, and an intersection at 1800 North. The Emigrant Trail will also be extended, connecting to an existing trail on 5500 West in Weber County.
UDOT’s original environmental study, completed in 2017, proposed a single lane in each direction.
However, the population growth in Davis County has prompted the need for two lanes each way, though the alignment decided in 2017 remains unchanged.
Projections indicate that by 2050, the number of homes in western Davis and Weber counties will increase by 74%, with travel delays expected to rise without the expansion of SR-177 and other transportation projects.
