Utah Crossing Presentation:
Russell Figg, spokesperson for Figg Bridges Engineers, informed the group of the upcoming design and plan for a six mile, 2 lane and one pedestrian lane, bridge across Utah Lake. In the future an additional 2 lanes may be added if traffic demands. The present design calls for 150 foot span between pilings and 35 to 50 foot clearance. Mr. Figg explained the dynamics for the planned construction. The bridge would provide for crossing of emergency vehicles, with no cost to the state. He further noted the bridge will facilitate a badly needed east - west traffic connection for that part of the state beginning at Saratoga Springs and on the other side, connect to Pelican Point and Redwood Road. There is no state or federal funds involved, the structure will be privately owned while leasing the land. The state is expected to share a portion of the toll revenue. The anticipated toll for the bridge is in the $2.00 range. Following the presentation, Chairman Dave Grierson opened the floor to RDCC members for questions, after which he allowed a brief period for questions from the public. The project is open for comments until October 25, 2009 under RDCC #10836.
