Show Bridges connect to new trail segment By JEFF DEMOSS Standard-Examiner staff jdemoss@standard.net WEST HAVEN — They may look like bridges to nowhere now, but two new spans over the Weber River will soon provide access to a new extension of the Weber and Ogden river trail system. Thanks in large part to a grant from Weber County's Recreation, Arts, Museums and Parks tax fund, a paved trail beginning just west of 1-15 on the Weber River stretching west past 1900 West is currently scheduled to open around the end of June. Travelers can see the new pedestrian/cycling bridges, molded after existing ones on the current trail system, from 1-15 and 1900 West near 12th Street. The project, with a total cost of about $800,000, is being funded by the cities of West Haven and Marriott-Slaterville, matching funds from the RAMP grant secured last year, and various individual and business sponsors. The city was hoping to start the project last year, but extensive damage caused by flooding late last spring and early summer postponed the work, said Dawnell Mussel- man, the West Haven city council member who oversees trails and related activities.
