盐湖城600/700北街改造11月9日完工 新建跨约旦河大桥与受保护自行车道
犹他州盐湖县盐湖城市，市政府11月9日宣布，经过两年施工，600/700北街的道路改造工程已经完工。
市政府邀请周边居民于11月12日下午5时至7时前往 Backman 小学参加庆祝活动，见证 Fairpark 与 Rose Park 两个社区之间新的交通连接。
改造后的道路铺设了全新沥青路面，增设了受保护自行车道、更安全的过街通道，并新栽200多棵行道树，待树木成材后将为这条走廊带来绿荫。工程保留了原有的四条机动车道。工程还包括新建一座跨越约旦河的650北街大桥，由盐湖城市政府与犹他州交通厅合作建设，新桥更能抵御地震与重大洪水。
市工程师 Mark Stephens 表示，该项目提升了行人与骑行者的出行安全，也改善了两个社区之间的连通性。更多项目信息可通过市政府项目网站查询。
Salt Lake City Completes 600/700 North Makeover on Nov. 9, With a New Jordan River Bridge and Protected Bike Lanes
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Salt Lake City, in Salt Lake County, Utah, announced on November 9 that after two years of construction, the 600/700 North roadway reconstruction is complete.
The city invited neighbors to celebrate the new connection between the Fairpark and Rose Park neighborhoods on November 12, from 5 to 7 p.m., at Backman Elementary School.
The rebuilt street has fresh asphalt pavement, new protected bike lanes, safer crosswalks and more than 200 new trees that will shade the corridor as they grow, while keeping all four travel lanes. The project also includes a new 650 North Bridge over the Jordan River, built in partnership with the Utah Department of Transportation and designed to better withstand earthquakes and major floods.
City Engineer Mark Stephens said the project makes the street safer and more comfortable for people walking, biking, driving and using transit, and strengthens the connection between the two neighborhoods. More information is available on the city's project website.
