Summary
Commissioners reported a $2,000,000 grant application for State Line Road was ranked No. 1 by the joint highways subcommittee; the transportation district also received roughly $1,000,000 for Green River Bridge structural work scheduled for 2029.
Unidentified Speaker 1 told the Daggett County Commission that the county’s application for a $2,000,000 grant to upgrade and pave State Line Road was ranked first by a joint highways subcommittee meeting in Salt Lake. The speaker said the county will coordinate with the county’s special service transportation district to combine that grant with other local funding already set aside by the board.
The commission also discussed structural work on the Green River Bridge, which provides access to Taylor Flats. Unidentified Speaker 1 said the transportation district requested roughly $1,000,000 for structural improvements and pavement; that request was awarded for the 2029 program year and includes replacing the bridge decking. No formal motion to commit county match or a timeline beyond the 2029 award was recorded during the discussion.
Commissioners noted the awards were a positive outcome from the Salt Lake ranking process. Unidentified Speaker 3 asked which bridge was referenced; the chair clarified it is the Green River Bridge and discussed nearby access implications. No final construction schedule, contractor selection, or local match amount was specified at the meeting.
The items were presented as informational updates; the commission did not take additional formal action on project agreements during this session. The commission recessed at 9:30 a.m. for a municipal building authority meeting, at which further project-level discussion may occur.
