Lehi getting new multi-use trail March 20, 2017, 4:10 pmThe trail will be a 10-foot wide multi-use trail. The entire project will be funded by federal dollars obtained through the Mountainland Association of Governments. Since it is being funded by federal monies, the project is being overseen by UDOT. The entire project is budgeted at $1.76 million, with $1,069,000 of that going to contractor Van Con for construction of the almost three-quarter-mile hard-surface pavement. The remainder of the funds went to the design by JUB Engineers as well as right-of-way costs and project management costs, according to UDOT Project Manager Justin Schellenberg. "This is part of the city's master trail plan to connect from the Point of the Mountain through the city. We're looking for an opportunity to complete those trails as quickly as we can," city spokesman Cameron Boyle said. "We're excited to have that trail complete." The project is expected to take about 50 days. During that time, there may be some closures of outside travel lanes along State Street during non-rush hour times. Boyle said that the city's trail system has been only partially complete for a number of years. Construction of this trail completes one of the final needed connections. City officials are still trying to complete a Traverse Mountain trail connection to the Draper trail system. The city is currently working on obtaining the necessary easements in the area, Boyle said. Call 801-616-0649 for complete details on State Street closures related to the rail trail project .
