Improving access to several Olympic venues was a challenge. For example, the Snowbasin Ski Resort - a small, remote ski area located about 80km north of Salt Lake City - was to host one of the most popular Olympic events: downhill skiing. Access to Snowbasin was limited to a two-lane, winding mountain highway. This posed a major problem for athletes, spectators, officials, the media and volunteers. The solution was to design and construct a second road, approximately 7.3km long, to serve as the main access road to the venue.

At Kimball Junction, the gateway to the Utah Olympic Park, Park City and Deer Valley areas, a new single-point urban interchange was built. It was designed to allow more vehicles to travel through this interchange on widened on-ramps and off-ramps.

Eight highway improvement projects, including some major thoroughfares, were completed by the United States Department of Transportation.
