Project Description

The Project is the construction of the Young Street Bridge over the Weber River on Young Street. The Project will provide traffic and pedestrian access between Commercial Street and State Street to create a walkable route through the City from Young Street to the County Fairgrounds and from Commercial Street to all three schools (elementary, middle, and high school). It will also be a connection to the Weber River trail system and other recreational activities. Currently there is no egress for the high school and elementary school, thus creating a safety issue for the majority of all school children in the County.\n\nYoung Street has been given the functional classification of a major collector by UDOT. The bridge over the Weber River on Young Street has been the top priority on the Morgan City Transportation Capital Facilities Plan for the past decade.\n\nThis project is a valuable use of taxpayer funds by providing emergency access for the areas on both sides of the Weber River; provide a safer alternative route to and from the schools; provide better access to the County Fairgrounds; create an additional connection to the City's Historic Commercial Street Business District; and create a better access to trails and other recreational activities along the Weber River.
