What is the commute like from Herriman to Lehi?

Manageable, and better than the drive to downtown Salt Lake — with one honest caveat. Every route from Herriman to Lehi has to get past the Point of the Mountain, the ridge that separates the Salt Lake Valley from Utah County, and that is where the commute time lives.

A large share of the households I work with in Herriman as a Realtor with Keller Williams South Valley have at least one person driving to the tech corridor in Lehi, and the ones who are happy with it chose their route and their neighborhood together. Here is how the drive actually works.

The three routes

Route	How it goes	Best for	The catch
Bangerter Highway to I-15 south	East across the valley on Bangerter, then I-15 south over the Point of the Mountain	Offices right on I-15 — Thanksgiving Point, Traverse Mountain, the Timpanogos Highway exits	Bangerter’s signals and I-15 at the Point at peak are the two slowest pieces of the south valley
Redwood Road south	Redwood Road (SR-68) south past Camp Williams into Saratoga Springs and Lehi	Offices on the west side of Lehi, or anywhere reached from Lehi’s Main Street and 2100 North	Two lanes for stretches, passes the post, and Saratoga Springs traffic joins it
Mountain View Corridor	South on the corridor along the west side of the valley, past Camp Williams, into Lehi at 2100 North	West Herriman especially; the most direct line south	Freeway from Porter Rockwell Boulevard to 2100 North since December 2025; the connection on to I-15 is under construction through late 2028

Tuscany sits in the easier-commute middle of Herriman, which matters more for this trip than for the drive north.

Which one is fastest depends on where in Herriman you live, where in Lehi you work, and the hour. There is no single answer, which is why I tell buyers to drive all three on a weekday morning before they choose a neighborhood.

The Point of the Mountain is the whole story

I-15 between Draper and Lehi climbs over the Point of the Mountain, and it is the single most congested stretch on the south end of the Wasatch Front. Everyone from the south Salt Lake Valley heading to Utah County by freeway funnels onto it, along with everyone from Utah County heading north. At peak it slows, and it slows predictably.

That is the argument for the west-side routes. Redwood Road and Mountain View Corridor go around the Point rather than over it, along the west edge of Camp Williams. For a Herriman household, especially one on the west side of the city, those routes can avoid the freeway entirely.

The Point is also changing. The former state prison site at the Point of the Mountain is being redeveloped as The Point, a large mixed-use district in Draper; the state broke ground on the first phase in 2026 (Salt Lake Tribune, July 2026). That is a long-term project, and what it does to traffic on that stretch is a question for the next decade rather than next year. But a buyer choosing a house on a ten-year horizon should know that the Point will not be quieter.

Mountain View Corridor: what is built and what is coming

Mountain View Corridor (SR-85) runs down the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, through Herriman, and along the western boundary of Camp Williams. In Utah County it exists from 2100 North in Lehi south to SR-73 and Pioneer Crossing in Saratoga Springs, an extension that opened in September 2023 (KSL NewsRadio).

The missing piece was the segment between Porter Rockwell Boulevard in Herriman and 2100 North in Lehi. UDOT built that as the corridor’s first freeway segment, two lanes in each direction with a shared-use path, and opened it on December 20, 2025 — about four months ahead of its original schedule (Daily Herald, December 2025). So as of this writing, a Herriman driver can take the corridor at freeway grade from Porter Rockwell Boulevard to 2100 North without touching I-15.

The next piece is the one that matters for the I-15 side of Lehi. In March 2026 UDOT began construction on a freeway-to-freeway connection between Mountain View Corridor and I-15 at 2100 North — a $621 million project with fourteen new bridges, expected to continue through late 2028 (UDOT, March 18, 2026). Until it opens, a corridor commuter heading to Thanksgiving Point or Traverse Mountain still crosses Lehi on surface streets to reach I-15, and that crossing is where the corridor route loses its advantage. When it opens, the corridor becomes a genuine freeway alternative to the Point for the whole of Lehi.

UDOT is also considering extending the corridor further south in Saratoga Springs (KSL, April 2025). That does not affect a Herriman-to-Lehi commute directly, but it signals where the state expects growth to go.

Where in Herriman you live changes the answer

West and south Herriman. The corridor and Redwood Road are close. These neighborhoods have the shortest and most direct drive to Lehi of anywhere in the south valley, and Herriman’s newest housing is largely on this side.

East Herriman, near the Riverton line. Bangerter and I-15 are the natural route, which puts you over the Point. Redwood Road is a reasonable alternative.

The bench and foothill areas. You descend first, then choose. Add that to whichever route you pick.

The general rule: the further west in Herriman you are, the more the west-side routes work in your favor, and the less the Point of the Mountain matters to your day.

Herriman to Lehi versus Herriman to Salt Lake

People choosing between the two commutes ask me this directly, so here it is plainly.

The drive to downtown Salt Lake from Herriman is about 27 miles, using Mountain View Corridor and Bangerter to reach I-15, and it is slow at rush hour in a way the map does not show. It is the most common regret I hear from Herriman buyers.

Lehi is shorter in distance from most of Herriman and has the west-side routes that downtown does not. For a two-income household where one person works downtown and the other in Lehi, Herriman’s west side favors the Lehi commuter and Riverton or South Jordan favors the downtown one. The differences between Herriman and Riverton come down to exactly this kind of trade.

What to do before you buy

Drive all three routes on a weekday morning, at your actual start time. Not on a Saturday, not at ten. The routes behave differently at seven than at nine.

Drive them home too. The afternoon pattern differs; Bangerter’s signals and the Point northbound behave differently from the morning.

Ask about hybrid. Two or three days a week in Lehi changes the calculation completely, and it is common in the tech corridor. A commute you would not accept five days a week is often fine for three.

Look at the 2100 North project’s status the week you decide. The corridor itself is open; the connection to I-15 is a construction zone through late 2028. A listing agent describing it as finished is ahead of UDOT.

Weigh Draper honestly if the job is on I-15. For an office at Thanksgiving Point or Traverse Mountain, Draper sits on the freeway that reaches it and Herriman does not. Draper generally costs more and it is the other side of the valley. But if the commute is the biggest factor in your life, the honest advice is to price both.

If you want a straight read on how a specific Herriman address commutes to a specific Lehi employer — and I have driven most of these combinations with clients — the answer sheet is where I start every relocation conversation.
