FARMINGTON -- A group of Davis County residents oppose one of the West Davis Corridor options so much, they've decided to buy a billboard along Interstate 15 to demonstrate their displeasure.

The billboard, which is on the west side of I-15 and is viewable in the northbound lane, sits between Pages Lane and Porter Lane in Centerville and reads, "WARNING: I-15 Bottleneck Coming. UDOT: www.StopTheBottleNeck.com."

If the West Davis Corridor gets built, it will include an interchange off I-15 that connects to the road in Farmington and southern Kaysville. The state will build the interchange at either Glovers Lane or Shepard Lane.
