SLC Mayor Erin Mendenhall, University Neighborhood Partners' Jennifer Mayer-Glenn and Rep. Angela Romero from the dedication of a Salt Lake City pedestrian bridge named in honor of westside advocates Archie and Lois Archuleta.

  • WALK: The previously-unnamed pedestrian bridge was built in 2017 and runs from 200 South to North Temple along the Jordan River. The 1,200-feet-long pedestrian and ADA-accessible bridge spans three active freight rail lines. The completion of the bridge closed a significant gap on the Jordan River Trail and was made possible through City, County and State investments. A sign with the bridge name will soon be affixed to a beam spanning the bridge and Interpretive signage about the Archuletas’ legacy will be installed in both English and Spanish.
