Construction crews advance on the opening segment of Utah's new statewide trail network in Moab, laying a 0.7-mile multi-use path along State Route 128 to link Grandstaff Canyon with the broader Colorado River system as the first of more than twenty planned connections. The work improves safe access for cyclists, hikers, and river users amid ongoing daytime noise and traffic, while nearby tailings removal at the former uranium site keeps steady progress with most material already moved. Trail completion targets December despite possible slowdowns from shorter days and early weather, creating subcontractor opportunities in paving, fencing, and landscaping along with calls for proactive material planning to avoid seasonal shortages.
