The West Davis Corridor (designated as Utah State Route 177 or SR-177)[2] is a 16-mile-long (26 km) freeway completely within Davis County in northern Utah. The corridor splits off from Interstate 15 (I-15) and U.S. Route 89 (US-89) along with the Legacy Parkway (SR-67) in Farmington and goes through the western confines of the Ogden–Clearfield metropolitan area before ending at an T-intersection with SR-193 in West Point.

Planning for the corridor drew environmental controversy prior to its construction, leading to adjustments in response to environmental groups such as adding multi-purpose trails paralleling the highway. Construction began on the West Davis Corridor in early 2021 and was open to traffic on January 6, 2024, although construction would not be completed until February 21, 2024.[3]
