Logan officials have opened a new pedestrian and cyclist underpass beneath Main Street. The project connects 17 miles of trail segments, serving both residents and participants in local races.
Why it matters
This infrastructure creates a safer crossing for active individuals traveling through the Riverwalk and Gateway areas. It improves access to local recreational trails by eliminating the need to cross a busy city street.
The project serves as a $4 million infrastructure addition that connects 17 miles of trail segments, significantly increasing the continuity of the local network. The total usage capacity of the underpass remains under ongoing evaluation by city planners.
The players
Logan City
The local government entity responsible for urban infrastructure and public recreational facilities.
Utah Department of Transportation
The state agency that partners with municipalities to manage transportation safety and roadway engineering.
The details
The facility provides a dedicated path beneath Main Street, allowing cyclists and pedestrians to bypass vehicle traffic entirely. The underpass features built-in lighting to maintain visibility and safety for users during all hours. This construction was a cooperative effort between Logan City and the Utah Department of Transportation to unify the trail system surrounding the Riverwalk and Gateway developments.
Timeline
Construction began on the underpass project in September 2025.
The underpass officially opened on October 24, 2026.
Health Landscape
The project aligns with national trends prioritizing infrastructure that promotes active transport and physical activity. It marks a shift from car-centric planning toward unified trail networks that facilitate safer, more accessible outdoor movement.
This new connection allows you to integrate longer, uninterrupted routes into your training or daily exercise. It is worth evaluating your usual trail path to see if this underpass creates a more efficient or safer option for your commute or workout.
The takeaway
Reliable trail infrastructure is a key factor in maintaining long-term physical activity habits. Consider scouting local trail maps to identify where these new connections can help you plan safer outdoor activities.
