MURRAY, Utah — Bridges at a northern Utah park have been removed due to rising creek waters connected to the snowpack melt. Officials ordered the removal of three bridges crossing Little Cottonwood Creek in Murray Park. On Friday, Glen Beeby shared video of the bridges sitting alongside the creek as its waters nearly equaled the shoreline. In addition to the bridge removals, signs near the creek warned park visitors to stay back because of the swift current, along with others saying the bridges were "out of service.
