Construction begins on bridge over Provo River
DAILY HERALD
Demolition starts Monday on the narrow and corroding bridge that crosses the Provo River to Utah Lake State Park. When traffic access resumes in about four months, a new, wider bridge will stand in its place.
The steel support structure of the existing bridge, at the west end of Center Street, began corroding after it was submerged during floods in 1983 and 1984.

Wadsworth Brothers Construction crews expect to complete the new bridge by mid-November. In the meantime, signs will direct park visitors on a detour down Geneva Road to 620 North and into the park.
Utah Lake State Park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. This story appeared in The Daily Herald on page D3.
