Cedar city, with a population of 8000 was the first city to be bypassed by when the north, south, and central Interchanges were completed In 1988.

"Service station and restaurant owners show Increases In their business, and motels have had full houses for the last two summers, although some on the north and south Interchanges stay up later to fill their vacancies." A mold Anderson, City Manager, rejoiced when he discovered that the noise pollution, caused by trucks gearing down on the six per cent grade of Cedar Citys Main Street, had been eliminated. Beaver, with a population of 1450, was the second city to be bypassed - In 1970.

"The overwhelming advantage," Mr. Rich explained, "is the removal of (raffle hazards from the old which was not adequate to handle the volumes." When the Interchanges at Parowan and Fillmore are complete, he feels that competition will again be on equal footing. Of the cities on three have not yet been bypassed; St. George, Parowan, and Fillmore. Officials of those communities, though somewhat less optimistic than Chamber of Commerce members, never theless anticipate steady Increases to (heir businesses with the arrival of the Interchange; and are confident that relocation to the site of the highway will not be necessary.
