By Charles Pekow — A missing link in the Wasatch Front bike system can be built. Congress approved the Mountain View Corridor Completion Act, which transfers about 200 acres from the Bureau of Land Management within Camp Williams to the State of Utah so it can complete the roadway linking communities in Salt Lake and Utah counties. The National Guard uses the land, 26 miles south of Salt Lake City, as a training ground but the land in question is wilderness.

Meanwhile, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is building “four miles of a 12-foot-wide asphalt shared-use path. This includes four pedestrian bridges near 2100 North, two grade-separated crossings, and a pedestrian bridge over Porter Rockwell Boulevard,” UDOT spokesperson Wyatt Woolley stated in an email.

“The goal of this addition to the active transportation network is to improve connectivity with existing and planned trails in the area. The new trail will link to the existing 2100 North path and provide a connection to the future Jordan Narrows Trail. Additionally, we are constructing a box culvert for a future crossing and bridge that will connect the multi-use path to the trail network north of the project, enhancing regional access for pedestrians and cyclists,” Woolley added.
