UDOT officials keep their word

(Millcreek Journal) Millcreek residents can breathe easier now. A temporary and controversial batch plant on 3900 South and Wasatch Blvd. was taken down over a two-day time frame in the middle of October. Utah Department of Transportation officials had promised the facility would just be temporary during the reconstruction of I-80 from 1300 East to State Street.

“I am glad it is gone. It is nice not to have the trucks (coming in and out),” Olympus Hills Mall Ace Hardware Manager Mike Hall said.

There was community uproar when the batch plant went up overnight in the backyard of Millcreek residents without warning. Residents were initially concerned about the diesel generators and truck traffic pollution that was being created by the plant.
