Commission adds funding for Logan Main Street underpass after city commits local match
Summary
The commission approved additional UDOT funding for a pedestrian underpass under Logan Main Street (SR‑8991) connecting the east‑west Logan River trail; Logan City committed a 50% local match, and commissioners said the underpass will improve safety and trail connectivity.
The Utah Transportation Commission on Friday approved added funding for a pedestrian underpass beneath State Route 8991 (Main Street) at the Logan River to complete a local trail connection, UDOT staff said.
UDOT’s packet shows the project will install a pedestrian underpass on the north side of the Logan River to connect an east‑west segment of the Logan River Trail. UDOT staff said bids came in higher than earlier estimates and the additional funds will cover construction contingencies and potential change orders.
Logan Mayor Danes addressed the commission during public comment and said the city had secured its local matching funds for the project. UDOT staff noted a letter from Logan City committing 50% of the additional support, and commissioners approved the funding addition at the meeting.
Commissioners framed the project as a safety and connectivity improvement for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing Main Street. “I see this as a safe, a great safety benefit for the community,” one commissioner said during the vote.
The commission approved the funding addition by voice vote; UDOT will proceed with the project’s construction contract and manage right‑of‑way and construction oversight.
