RIVERDALE — The Utah Department of Transportation has started limited construction on the Riverdale Road improvement project. A groundbreaking ceremony on the project will be 11 a.m. Tuesday at 1500 W. Riverdale Road, just south of Motel 6.
Riverdale Road is one of the busiest non-freeway corridors in Utah and bridges several communities in southern Weber County.
This year, UDOT will add new lanes between I-84 and the Weber River viaduct, reconstruct the pavement and reconstruct the I-84 interchange into a single-point urban interchange configuration. UDOT is seeking funds to continue the project east of the viaduct in 2009.
Business owners and government leaders will learn project updates and tips on dealing with construction after the groundbreaking.
Story of Salt Lake airmen
I found that out last week. In search of a Memorial Day column, I wandered into Memory Grove (who said columnists can't grasp the obvious?) and as I walked by the various war monuments, I came upon the best-looking structure there: the Meditation Chapel, which might have been transplanted straight from Athens.
