Beat up by the impact of heavy gravel trucks the road wasn’t designed to carry, Tooele County commissioners are contem- plating the future of what once was a dirt path that connected Grantsville with early settlers in Rush Valley. The nearly 19-mile road runs from the west side of Grantsville to Rush Valley. Last week, Tooele County filled potholes and worn-out portions of Mormon Trail Road south of South Mountain Road with gravel. This week, a contractor begins regular pothole repairs of Mormon Trail Road north of South Mountain Road, Bitner said. At $2.70 per square-foot of pothole filling, the county has budgeted $50,000 for pothole repair countywide for 2016. The contractor will begin with Mormon Trail Road, but the $50,000 includes work on Erda Way, Burmester Road, and other county roads, according to Rod Thompson, Tooele County Roads Department director. The last major overhaul of Mormon Trail Road was around 25 years ago, he said.
