Suffolk is redefining how complex construction projects are managed across the Mountain West by combining experienced local teams with advanced technology, artificial intelligence and data-driven processes. These tools provide greater visibility into schedule, budget and logistics, helping teams identify risks earlier, improve coordination and deliver greater certainty from preconstruction through completion.
“Projects that shape how people move through Utah require more than a strong plan on paper. They require a team that understands the region, the demands of the ski industry and the discipline needed to deliver in a challenging environment,” said John Kemp, Chief Operating Officer, Mountain West, at Suffolk. “I have spent my career building in this region, and I am eager to show our clients and partners what Suffolk can do by pairing local knowledge with a highly collaborative team, advanced technology and a relentless focus on delivery.”
Managed by DFCM for the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), the project will provide approximately 1,800 parking spaces and serve as a staging location for up to 50 buses. Located along Wasatch Boulevard, the mobility hub is intended to reduce pressure on the roads leading into Big Cottonwood Canyon while improving access to Utah’s ski areas and supporting the state’s travel and tourism economy.
Suffolk has partnered with Wadsworth Brothers Construction on the project. Wadsworth Brothers has completed numerous projects with UDOT and brings significant local transportation and self-performance experience to the team.
“The Cottonwood Canyons Transit Center is a critical piece of our plan to improve transportation in the canyons,” said Devin Weder, Project Manager, UDOT Cottonwood Canyons Transit Program. “It will provide a central location for people to park and access transit, helping reduce congestion and making travel more reliable during the busy winter season. We look forward to working with Suffolk and Wadsworth Brothers to deliver a facility that meets the needs of the community and supports the long-term transportation goals for the Cottonwood Canyons.”
Suffolk brings extensive experience managing complex mobility and transportation projects, including the Consolidated Rental Car Facility at Boston Logan International Airport and the Terminal C garage at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Suffolk recently announced another project award in Utah, the new Trades and Technology Building at Dixie Technical Community College in St. George.
