Construction on UTA’s West Valley TRAX line is underway. The five-mile line will branch off from the Sandy to Salt Lake TRAX Line at the 2100 South Central Pointe station traveling west crossing under Interstate 15. Bridges will extend the line over the Union Pacific Railroad's Roper Yard, 900 West and the Jordan River. After crossing the Jordan River, the line will turn south and then westward to run north of the Redwood Nature Area and the Decker Lake drainage canal. It will then travel through the Chesterfield neighborhood along the Cross Town Trail and continue west across Redwood Road to Research Way. After following Decker Lake Drive to 3100 South at the E Center, the light rail line will continue west on the south side of 3100 South, then turn south on 2700 West, crossing 3500 South and ending at the West Valley City Hall, across from the Valley Fair Mall.

UTA anticipates completing commuter rail from Salt Lake City to Provo and the West Valley TRAX line by 2012. (Deseret Morning News, August 9, 2007)
