Legacy Highway is the name of a freeway in Utah that is planned to ultimately run from Brigham City in the north down the western side of the Wasatch Front to Nephi in the south. It was proposed in 1996 by Utah Governor Michael O. Leavitt. Because of delays and the length of the freeway, it may be until 2025 or later until construction on the entire portion is finished, although officials have stated that the complete proposal may, in fact, never be finished.

The first portion planned to be built is the Legacy Parkway, which will run from the junction of U.S. 89 in Farmington to Interstate 215 in North Salt Lake. Construction on the Legacy Parkway began in 2004 after many delays. The interchange with Interstate 15 and U.S. 89 was mostly completed before the highway was delayed again as a result of lawsuits over the completeness of the environmental impact statement. On September 21, 2005, the State of Utah and the Sierra Club (acting on behalf of numerous groups opposing the Legacy Highway) officially signed a compromise regarding the Legacy Highway. Some of the agreements reached include no billboards along the freeway, no trucks allowed on the freeway (unless of an accident or construction on I-15), and a 55 mph (90 km/h) speed limit. This is in exchange for the promise that the environmentalists will stop obstructing the construction of the highway. These restrictions hold until 2020.
