The Utah Transportation Commission has approved state funding for the S.R. 92 Pedestrian Bridge in Lehi, according to a report published November 9. This decision allows the project to move forward into the design and construction phase.
The state will allocate $4,533,402 to the project through the Transportation Investment Fund. This state contribution will be paired with $4,466,598 in funding from the Mountainland Association of Government, bringing the total project funding to $9 million.
The bridge is intended to connect various trails located to the north and south of S.R. 92, also known as the Timpanogos Highway. Once completed, it will provide a safer pedestrian route to both Belmont Elementary and Viewmont Middle School.
The funding was approved by the Utah Transportation Commission last week.
