Approximately 80 people, following appropriate social distancing and mask guidelines, gathered in the northwest corner of Utah Valley University’s Orem campus to cut the ribbon on a new pedestrian bridge, connecting UVU’s main and west campuses and the UTA FrontRunner Orem Central Station.

The bridge is Utah’s largest pedestrian bridge, spanning more than the length of three football fields. The covered bridge features 15,000 square feet of heated concrete and a walkway lined with 125 lights and 18 security cameras. The new addition, providing students with a faster and safer way to get to campus, will be fully finished in early February.
