Logan city officials officially opened a pedestrian and cyclist underpass beneath Main Street. Participants in a breast cancer awareness race were among the first to travel through the new path.
Why it matters
The project provides a safe way for pedestrians and cyclists to navigate a high-traffic area. It effectively bridges gaps between trail sections to enhance local accessibility.
The new underpass integrates 17 miles of existing trail segments and serves as part of a $4 million investment. Runners participating in the inaugural event completed a 5-kilometer course through the facility.
The players
Logan City
This is the municipal government agency responsible for managing the infrastructure and urban planning within the city of Logan.
Utah Department of Transportation
This state-level agency is responsible for the planning, design, and construction of transportation infrastructure across the state of Utah.
The details
The project serves the Riverwalk and Gateway developments and features installed lighting for safety. This construction effort was a cooperative initiative between Logan City and the Utah Department of Transportation.
Timeline
Construction of the underpass project began in September 2025.
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on October 24, 2026.
Season Trajectory
This project aligns with the Utah Department of Transportation's active transportation master plan to improve regional trail connectivity. The completion marks a significant shift in local cycling infrastructure that impacts future competitive and recreational race routes.
Pedestrians and cyclists can now bypass Main Street traffic, significantly improving travel times for those commuting between the Riverwalk and Gateway areas. Local race organizers now have a permanent, safe route for future 5-kilometer events without needing to coordinate major road closures.
The takeaway
The addition of this underpass creates a safer environment for non-motorized travel by removing direct conflict with vehicular traffic on Main Street. Residents are encouraged to use the newly connected trail network for both daily commutes and future recreational activities.
