WEBER COUNTY OPENS NEW CONNECTOR ROAD IN OGDEN VALLEY
OGDEN VALLEY, UT, October 23, 2025 – Weber County, in partnership with Asphalt Construction and Excavating and Eden Valley Opportunity, LCC (EVO Utah), has completed work on a new connector road at 4100 N (Fairways Drive) in Ogden Valley.
The connector road will improve accessibility to Wolf Creek Resort and Powder Mountain Ski Resort, as well as reduce traffic congestion in other areas of Liberty and Eden. Neighbors living near the road will also now be able to exit the area more quickly in the event of an emergency.
“The two major sources of funding for this project were sales tax transportation funds from the Weber Area Council of Governments (WACOG) and impact fees,” Gage Froerer, Weber County commissioner, said.
WACOG prioritized funding for the project because it provides a significant benefit to improve regional connectivity and reduce congestion in the Ogden Valley area. The project shortens travel between the Wolf Creek/Powder Mountain area and SR-162 by about 3.5 miles, easing pressure on the busy SR-158/SR-162 intersection.
The project was identified in the County’s Transportation Master Plan and supports the intent of the transportation sales tax program by enhancing safety, mobility and access along a regionally significant corridor.
Future development adjacent to the project will reimburse a significant portion of the WACOG funds.
“EVO Utah also played a key role in making this project feasible by purchasing and securing the necessary easements directly from private property owners,” Froerer said. “Their cooperation and donation were integral in moving this project forward.”
“This project emphasizes the importance of public-private partnerships to provide a crucial connector road in Ogden Valley where development paid its own way and didn’t burden taxpayers,” John Lewis, managing partner of Eden Valley Opportunity, said. “The road and paved trail will make a beautiful addition to Ogden Valley, increase public safety, increase accessibility and greatly benefit the residents who live and play there.”
Asphalt Construction and Excavating contracted with the County to build the road.
“Clayton Monahan and his team at Asphalt Construction and Excavating did a phenomenal job on this project,” Sharon Bolos, Weber County commissioner, said. “We appreciate their expertise in creating high quality designs and their excellent communication with County staff.”
The project also includes a multi-use pathway along the corridor, funded by impact fees, to enhance recreation and connectivity throughout the area.
