Worst Bridge in Utah?
Is this bridge in Weber County the worst bridge in Utah? The bridge was built in 1972 and has received poor scores in multiple inspection metrics. A new bridge should be completed by 2024, costing $2.4 million, but the federal government would pay 93% of that under President Biden’s infrastructure bill that Congress passed. [FOX 13]
