To see how a long bridge across a large lake can work, look at the 2 floating bridges across Lake Washington in Seattle.

A bridge across the lake would be a great commute bonus. My only qualm is that Utah Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Utah and it may be a better idea to start cleaning it, protecting it and promoting outdoor activities on it. You can have both of course so mine is just an minor point.

Oops:

And oops:
Today the bridge is near the end of its useful life, according to the state Department of Transportation. The bridge must be closed in high winds, and even after a seismic retrofit in 1999, it is at risk of collapse in an earthquake. Due to the weight of various reinforcements over the years, the bridge currently rides about a foot lower in the water than it did originally. The DOT is working on replacing the aging bridge with a new span of six lanes.

Isn't tunnel digging one of the subsections taught in Eagle Mountain's schools for the "Prepare for a Career at the Point of the Mountain" class?

A road across would be great.. and while we're at it, how about an island for some recreation. Years ago I saw a plan for something like that.
