FrontRunner 2X Gets Green Light | Salt Lake City News
Description
Utah’s FrontRunner rail is getting a massive upgrade—thanks to federal approval for the 2X project, which could unlock nearly $1.3 billion in funding. The expansion will add 26.1 miles of double track, a new station, 10 trainsets, and a maintenance facility, aiming for 15-minute headways during peak hours. While construction won’t start until 2027–2030 (delayed from 2026), it’s designed to transform commutes across the Wasatch Front. But not everyone’s thrilled—dozens in Provo face potential relocation due to eminent domain. This long-term investment promises more reliable, frequent transit as Utah’s population surges.
