Thanks for commenting. UDOT has the need for bridge across the lake in their 30 year plan (https://www.lehifreepress.com/2019/10/15/bridge-over-utah-lake/) but there is not currently a project to make it happen. The idea has been around for a while, there was even a businessman, Leon Harward, who proposed a toll bridge across the lake back in 2011 but his proposal never came to fruition, you can research it more by searching his name and “utah lake bridge” on Google. As the county develops and transportation evolves herein, a bridge across the lake will continue to be a point of discussion. Thanks for visiting our website!
Love the enthusiasm. I am a student at UVU and we are actually doing a project about this bridge proposal and the effects it could have on the local businesses and traffic. Would you be willing to share some of your thoughts on why Utah County needs this bridge? We can even set up a call if you’re willing.
I honestly think building a bridge across Utah Lake would help so much it would cut the time traveling from eagle mountain, cedar fort Tooele or Saratoga springs to Provo or Orem or UVU campus by about half the time it would help with less traffic on I-15 in Utah county. and it would look so cool to in my opinion I think it would be something great to think about especially when Utah county is going to continue growing
Are there any current plans to construct a bridge over Utah Lake? If so what are they are what are the next steps?
What are the main obstacles that face the proposition? What can constituents do in the mean time?
Jack,

I AM INTERESTED IN PURSUING A BRIDGE ACROSS UTAH LAKE!

How can we help get this going? Pioneer crossing and redwood road in Saratoga are getting ridiculous
