Conservation advocates are suing the Trump administration after the Bureau of Land Management decided to reapprove the construction of a previously canceled four-lane highway through the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area in southwestern Utah.
In 2021, the Center for Biological Diversity filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia challenging the Utah Department of Transportation’s highway plan. That lawsuit ended in a settlement with the Biden administration in 2023 that halted the proposed construction.
