Despite 4 years of diverting rush-hour traffic and obstructing Salt Lake City's main freeway with orange barrels and construction equipment, Utah's Department of Transportation boasts a 75% public approval rating. This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to the largest highway design-build project ever awarded to a single contractor having been finished under budget and ahead of schedule. People with vision and dedication are always found behind such impressive results. This is true in the reconstruction of I-15, a massive rebuilding of a deteriorating urban interstate in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
