ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- Workers are putting the finishing touches on a bridge in St. George touted as one of Utah's first federally funded stimulus projects.
Officials say the $4.2 million Valley View Bridge over the Santa Clara River is almost complete.
An assistant to the city manager, Marc Mortensen, tells The Spectrum of St. George the span is designed to handle a 100-year storm.
It was built to replace a temporary bridge built of box culverts following a 2005 flood.
The Utah Department of Transportation had planned to complete the bridge in 2013, but stimulus funding moved up the date for the work.
The city paid a little more than $1 million for the project.
