Thursday, September 23rd, 2010900ft above the mighty Colorado River there is a spectacular new bridge that will carry a new section of US Route 93 past the bottleneck of the old road which can be seen twisting and winding around and across the dam itself. Opening October 2010, it will provide a new link between the states of Nevada and Arizona. In an incredible feat of engineering, the road will be supported on the two massive concrete arches which jut out of the rock face.

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010URBAN LAND INSTITUTE
Falling behind global competitors, the United States struggles to gain traction in planning and building the critical infrastructure investments that are necessary to ensure future economic growth and support a rapidly expanding population.
Recent federal stimulus spending addresses some pressing repair needs for transport- and water-related systems and provides seed funding for high-speed rail in important travel corridors, as well as new energy infrastructure. But recession-busted government budgets, entitlement and defense expenditures, and ballooning health care costs push infrastructure down most political priority lists—leaders continue to procrastinate when it comes to new investments as stressed taxpayers balk at more spending.

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010UTAH DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES
In order to meet all the future water demands in the Jordan River Basin, cooperative efforts will be needed to more fully and efficiently use existing water supplies. State and local leaders must work closely with water
suppliers in the Basin to continue to promote aggressive water conservation measures and additional innovative water management technologies. While this effort may delay the need for costly new water developments, these measures alone will not satisfy all future needs. The proposed Bear River Development Project will ultimately be needed. Exactly when this project will be constructed depends upon actual population growth as well as the ability of water conservation and other strategies to reduce water demand and the agreements within the basin to share resources.
