Archuleta Bridge Dedication
The “Archie and Lois Archuleta Bridge” was dedicated Friday, June 17th at a celebration attended by the Archuletas' family members, community leaders, and City officials.
The Archuletas were dedicated activists in the Salt Lake City community for decades.
In 2018, The Archuletas were honored with a Key to the City for their lifelong commitment to education, social justice, and community mentorship and for their advocacy work in support of individuals experiencing homelessness, the LGBTQ community, and women.
A sign with the bridge name will soon be affixed to a beam spanning the bridge and Interpretive signage about the Archuletas’ legacy will be installed in both English and Spanish.
This successful celebration marks the initiation of exploration into renaming parks, amenities and trails to better represent community identity.
