The contractor for the Utah Department of Highways had to replace the ditch in advance of widening the road and the bridge to four full lanes. Once the old span is raxed, work will begin immediately on widening it to 80 feet -twice the width of the existing right-of-wa- y structure. In addition to reconstructing the bridge, the contractor will also widen and resurface Riverdale Road, designated U50, for a distance of slightly less than a half mile, beginning at the western end of the overpass. The new bridge will be a continuous steel beam strucy ture 187 feet in length. An Ogden firm, M. Morri., and Son, is the contractor under a $530,000 agreement. appre-'imatel- Something To Shout About Have you noticed in the last year the increasing number of cartoons and commercials dealing with the litter and pollution proulems of the world. i . Todays youth realize early in life what pollution, ecology and litter means and they are joining the fight against it. Last weekend two little canvassed our neighborhood with a paper bag picking up paper, trash and discarded pop bottles. I wish I could say that they didnt find much, but as is generally the case, they filled their bags to the top. What the world needs a is a few less Oscar Madese.is and a few more concerned, litter-fre- people. If everyone would stop and think before they toss away that gum wrapper , empty pop can or leave part of the days picnic j behind, this world could become a better place to live in. The city of Roy has ben doing an excellent job over the past several years with clean-u- p programs but there is still a lot to be done. The students of our schools should be commended for the programs they have been doing in cooperation with SCAT and in generally making our city a better and cleaner place. The people can be very pleased that we have won recognition in the past several years for our clean-u- p programs but the work cant stop there. Everyone must continually do their part. Stop and think before you roll down your window while driving down the street, carry a litter bag in your car, and use that instead. Every litter bit hurts. Take a hint from that cute little owl on television, Give a Hoot, Dont Pollute. IIAS BEEN progressing steadily as a bridge on Riverdale Road is being replaced with a new, wider one. Traffic is being detoured over several routes leading to and from Roy, without too WORK much trouble. Drivers gcncrnlly feel any delay in regular traffic is well worth the wait for a more improved, w ider bridge in the future. |
