Moab City Awards $527,943 Contract to Rebuild Pack Creek Pedestrian Bridge
What happened
The Moab City Council approved a $527,943 construction contract to replace the Pack Creek pedestrian bridge, which had been closed since 2021 due to flooding damage. The contract was awarded to Fones Construction LLC, a Colorado-based company, after it was the lowest of seven bidders. The final contract amount is nearly 53% higher than the city’s original engineering estimate of $345,500.

Why it matters
The project addresses a missing link in Moab’s pedestrian infrastructure, which previously connected neighborhoods west of Pack Creek to the Pack Creek Trail system. The cost overrun was attributed partly to an error in the engineering firm’s estimate for bridge abutments and rising construction costs.
The city is working on broader pedestrian infrastructure improvements, and Grand County has granted a time extension for a related city infrastructure project.
