Salt Lake City Mayor Jackie Biskupski released the list of roads in town that will see construction this year as the city tries to repair a widespread network of roads in horrible condition.
Two-thirds of the city’s streets are rated poor or worse. The city’s political leaders have put in motion an effort to both rebuild the roads that need it and to preserve others before they fall into disrepair.
The 2018 construction list includes eight projects, half that seek to preserve roads and the other half that will lead to the complete reconstruction of portions of the roads.
