Basin Caravan Demands Urgent US 40 Completion
Salt Lake City will see more than 100 cars led by regional notables in a Friday parade from the Chamber of Commerce to the state capitol.

Utah 49 is called the state’s most vital road, serving 65 percent of the population and industries, as organizers vow continued pressure until the US 40 project is completed.
