UDOT Geneva Road widening and Lakeview Parkway extension update (work session)
Discussed
A UDOT project manager said the project, from University Parkway to 1800 South, would widen Geneva Road to five lanes between University Parkway and the future Lakeview Parkway, realign a segment of Geneva Road, build the Lakeview and Geneva intersection and add bike lanes, a trail and sidewalk. The original scope was $20 million in HB 433 funding with construction in spring 2023 to late 2024; the updated schedule advertises construction in late 2023 and builds from spring 2024 to late 2025. UDOT listed benefits as avoiding rework and limiting resident impacts, and risks as timing of Orem's Lakeview Parkway design and schedule delays tied to the Orem Temple open house.
- Updated schedule: advertise late 2023; construct spring 2024 to late 2025

Geneva Road widening from University Parkway to 1450 South
Discussed
UDOT representatives said the project will widen Geneva Road to five lanes to the south end of the temple grounds, to prepare for a future connection to Lakeview Parkway. Utility and drainage work is underway and roadway construction begins in spring. Two-way traffic will be maintained, though a dedicated left-turn lane into the temple will not be available during construction. UDOT plans to keep at least one lane each direction at peak hours and hold a "Meet the Contractor" event in mid-September.
