Logan City to Host Contractor Open House for Major Underpass Project
Logan City will be holding a Contractor Open House on August 12 to discuss the upcoming 600 South Underpass Project. The event will occur between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at Logan City Hall, located at 290 North, 100 West in downtown Logan. The open house is geared towards *business* and *property* owners who may have questions regarding the construction schedules and traffic management along Main Street.
Project Overview
The 600 South Underpass Project aims to enhance pedestrian safety by constructing a *pedestrian underpass trail culvert* at 600 South, near the US-89 Bridge on Main Street. The construction is expected to commence as early as September 1 and will continue through June 2026. During this time, access to 600 South will be consistently closed at Main Street, significantly affecting local traffic.
Construction Schedule
Major construction activities will primarily occur during *daylight hours* from Monday to Friday, with some work extending into nights and weekends. There will also be a planned seasonal break from December 2025 to March 2026, though this timeline may adjust depending on weather conditions and the availability of construction materials.
In 2025, individuals may notice occasional closures of shoulders, pedestrian sidewalks, and outside lanes as construction progresses. The following year, variable lane closures are anticipated, which could reduce traffic to only one lane in each direction on various parts of Main Street. Motorists should anticipate delays of approximately 5 to 15 minutes due to increased traffic congestion as the project develops.
Alternate Routes and Safety Measures
To help alleviate some of the traffic issues, UDOT recommends utilizing 1000 West and 200 North as alternate routes during peak traffic hours. Access to intersections between 500 South and 700 South will remain open, although dedicated turning lanes may face restrictions. Nighttime road closures will be required between 500 South and 700 South for the transportation of heavy equipment and materials; affected parties will be notified of the specific closure times via the project’s official website, email updates, social media channels, and text messages.
Benefits of the Underpass
The total cost of the project is estimated to be around $8 million. The underpass is considered a crucial element for improving connectivity and safety for *walkers*, *runners*, and *cyclists* in the community. Once completed, the underpass will feature a *10-foot-wide shared-use path*, facilitating connections between the existing trail systems on either side of Main Street.
Logan City officials believe that the completed underpass will significantly enhance the movement and safety of non-motorized users wishing to cross Main Street. This infrastructure is viewed as an important step towards fostering an inclusive environment for active transport within the city.
Conclusion
The upcoming Contractor Open House provides an essential opportunity for local residents and business owners to gain insight into the logistics and benefits of the underpass project. Attendees are encouraged to come prepared with questions to maximize this informative session.
