Logan City Gears Up for Contractor Open House on 600 South Underpass Project
Logan City officials are set to host a _Contractor Open House_ on Tuesday, August 12, to discuss the upcoming _600 South Underpass Project_. This event invites local business and property owners to gather at Logan City Hall from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., where they can gain insights about the construction schedule and traffic management on Main Street.
Details of the Project
The 600 South Underpass Project is a significant undertaking managed by the _Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT)_ along with key project partners. The core purpose of the project is to construct a pedestrian underpass trail culvert at 600 South, located next to the US-89 Bridge over Main Street. This initiative aims to improve the connectivity and safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and runners in the area.
The project is projected to commence as early as September 1 and is expected to continue through June 2026. During this time, access to 600 South at Main Street will remain closed, which may affect local traffic and businesses. Most of the construction work will take place during daylight hours from Monday to Friday, although some activities may extend into nights and weekends.
Impact on Local Traffic
As construction progresses, drivers can expect _delays ranging from 5 to 15 minutes_ due to increased traffic congestion. To mitigate potential delays during peak hours, UDOT recommends using alternate routes like 1000 West and 200 North. While access to intersections between 500 South and 700 South will remain open, some dedicated turn lanes may be restricted.
In 2025, there may be occasional closures affecting shoulders, pedestrian sidewalks, and outside lanes. It is also anticipated that in 2026, construction will result in variable lane closures, possibly reducing traffic down to a single lane in each direction. Nighttime road closures will be necessary for transporting heavy equipment and materials, and updates on these specific times will be shared through the project website, email alerts, social media, and text messaging services.
Seasonal Break and Future Considerations
A seasonal break is planned from December 2025 to March 2026, although this timeframe is subject to change based on weather conditions and the availability of materials. Throughout the project’s life, real-time updates on construction impacts will be vital for residents and motorists navigating the area.
Benefits of the Underpass
With an estimated cost of _$8 million_, the underpass will feature a _10-foot-wide shared-use path_, significantly improving pedestrian and cyclist access across Main Street. The project also aims to enhance connections between existing trail systems on either side of the street, ultimately boosting safety for non-motorized users.
City officials believe this underpass will play a critical role in facilitating smoother movement and increased safety for walkers, runners, and cyclists, making it a key addition to Logan City’s infrastructure. Community stakeholders are encouraged to attend the open house to engage in discussions and gather vital information regarding the project’s development.
Location of the Open House
The open house will take place at Logan City Hall, located at _290 North 100 West in downtown Logan_. Community members are urged to participate and pose their questions to help better navigate the upcoming changes in their city.
