Summit County seeks input on new Kimball Junction pedestrian bridge

Residents can weigh in on design concepts for a planned SR-224 crossing near Ute Boulevard

PARK CITY, Utah — Summit County is asking residents and visitors to weigh in on three design concepts for a planned pedestrian bridge over state Route 224 near Ute Boulevard in Kimball Junction.

The county is working with the Utah Department of Transportation and the Summit County Public Art Advisory Board to design and install the new crossing as part of broader redevelopment and transportation improvements planned for the area.

Through Oct. 4, the public can complete an online survey and provide feedback on three concepts labeled A, B and C. County officials said the renderings are illustrative and could change based on structural engineering requirements, building codes and material considerations.

“This bridge could stand for 75 years or more — serving the needs of millions of people,” Carl Miller, Summit County’s director of transportation planning, said in a statement. “We want to hear from the public about what they like and what other features we can plan for to make the best version of the bridge that we can.”

The need for a dedicated pedestrian crossing was identified in UDOT’s 2025 Kimball Junction Environmental Impact Statement. Summit County said it offered to assume some additional costs to create a bridge that could also serve as a signature feature for the community.

The bridge is also part of a broader redevelopment vision for Kimball Junction. Earlier this year, the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity designated a 60-acre area centered on the transit center as a Housing and Transit Reinvestment Zone.

Plans for the area also include relocating the Summit County Library and DMV into the PEAK Center, along with new civic buildings, a public plaza surrounded by mixed uses, a park, an amphitheater and dedicated senior care and medical facilities.

After the survey closes, results will be shared with the Summit County Public Art Advisory Board, whose nine volunteer members will work with the county transportation team on recommendations. A final recommendation will then go to the Summit County Council for approval.

Residents can view the design concepts and complete the survey at summitcounty.info/bridgesurvey.
