Project Overview



Bus Rapid Transit or BRT combines the capacity and speed of light rail with the lower cost construction of an integrated bus system. Once complete, Ogden Express (formerly route 603) will provide riders a clean-air ride in an electric bus from the Ogden FrontRunner Station, through downtown, along dedicated bus lanes in the center of the road on Harrison Boulevard and through the Weber State University campus, and to McKay-Dee Hospital. When operational, riders will be able to catch the bus every 10-15 minutes on weekdays and 15-30 minutes on weekends. The project will benefit the community by reducing vehicle trips, supporting the economy and providing transportation choices.

Construction

Utah Transit Authority, Jacobs Engineering, AECOM, WCEC, and Stacy and Witbeck have partnered to design and construct the Ogden Express (OGX) line over the next three years. Project segments will be constructed simultaneously in multiple locations to ensure project completion in a timely manner.

Updates this week:

Washington Blvd.

  • OGX station work continues with Washington Blvd. between 24th and 25th streets.

23rd Street

  • Road reconstruction is nearing completion on 23rd Street and the entire section past The Junction between Wall Ave. and Washington Blvd. is open to traffic.
  • The new traffic signal at Lincoln Ave. is now functional and is expected to become fully operational next week. Motorists are advised to exercise caution as drivers become accustomed to the new signal.
  • Station platform work and paver installations are planned next week between Costa Vida and Kiesel Avenue. Crews will also complete concrete punch list items and signage and striping between Wall and Washington.

Ogden Intermodal Transit Center

  • Next week, crews will continue station platform work, signage and striping at the OGX Central Station at the Intermodal Transit Center (FrontRunner station).
  • To accommodate work, pedestrian walkways, parking lot access, drop-off locations and ADA parking stall access have been shifted. Pedestrians are advised to use the temporary walkways around the active construction zone and to stay out of the work area.

25th Street

  • OGX station work continues near the Jefferson Ave., Monroe Blvd. and Harrison Blvd. intersections. Glass windscreen installations continue at 25th Street stations. Asphalt micro surfacing is planned next week at the Monroe intersection.

Harrison Blvd.

  • Final paving has been completed on Harrison Blvd. between 31st and 37th streets and temporary lane striping has been placed. Crews plan to finish raising utility manholes to grade Friday night (May 26). Harrison Blvd will be reduced to one lane in work zones between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. Final striping is planned June 3-4. Concrete punch list items and asphalt micro surfacing are also planned next week at various locations along Harrison Blvd. with possible intermittent lane closures for this work.
  • OGX station work continues at 28th Street (Ogden High School) and 32nd and 36th streets. Watch for lane shifts.
  • Not associated with the OGX alignment, minor road widening including curb/gutter and driveway reconstruction continues with the south side of 36th Street between Iowa Ave. and Tyler Ave. Roadway demo, excavation and utility work are planned next week.
  • The final phase of construction is underway along Harrison Blvd. to install center dedicated bus lanes between 31st and 37th streets and OGX stations at 32nd and 36th streets. Left turns and U-turns are permitted only at 32nd and 36th streets. Drivers are advised to reduce speeds and watch for lane shifts.

Weber State University

  • Asphalt micro surfacing is planned next Tuesday (May 30) on Village Drive from Wildcat Village past the Hurst Center. A detour will be in place between 7 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for this work.
  • Landscaping is underway across campus.

McKay-Dee Hospital

  • OGX station platform work continues near the hospital's main entrance, with pedestrian access maintained

Environmental Assessment

An Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed for the project in 2019. The purpose of the EA was to identify the environmental effects associated with project construction and operation and to provide agencies and the public an opportunity to review and comment on the effects of the proposed project. The EA evaluated impacts to socioeconomic, environmental, and transportation conditions in the project area and what further actions or mitigation could be implemented to address the identified impacts.
