Logan Canyon Highway reconstruction correspondence, 1969-1972.

Correspondence between the members of the Northern Utah Environmental Advisory Committee and various other correspondents, including the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, U.S. Forest Service, and State Road Commission of Utah, during 1969-1972, concerning the proposed reconstruction of U.S. Highway 89 through Logan Canyon. Includes several enclosures, including reports on the Logan Canyon Highway's safety, impact on the Logan River, and an Environmental analysis report, Logan Canyon Highway, third phase reconstruction (ca. 1971). The Logan Canyon highway reconstruction project began in 1959 with the first phase which widened and straightened the section from the mouth of the Canyon to Malibu Campground. By 1968 the second phase of the Logan Canyon highway reconstruction was completed and extended from Malibu Campground to Right Hand Fork in the canyon. In 1969, a public hearing for the third phase of the project was held, leading to the formation of the Northern Utah Environmental Advisory Committee. The State temporarily abandoned the project in 1971.
