Forest street overpass celebrated at ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday

City officials, state lawmakers, and local residents celebrated a major infrastructure milestone on Tuesday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the long-awaited Forest Street overpass. The project, which was over a decade in the making, is expected to officially open for public traffic later this month.

Brigham City Mayor DJ Bott praised the accomplishment, labeling it a "generational project" that will fundamentally reshape local transit. The bridge is designed to alleviate traffic congestion and improve connectivity within the city, serving as a critical piece of infrastructure that has been a priority for municipal planners for many years.

This completion marks a significant victory for the community, which has navigated years of construction and planning to reach this point. As the overpass prepares to welcome drivers, local officials are hopeful that the new route will provide long-term benefits to commuters and improve safety for the entire Brigham City area.
