I did, in fact ask Mr. Google about the progress on the Grand Junction MUP, and learned a few things... Turns out its design has headed in a "rail and trail" direction: the MUP runs next to the existing low-volume freight line, preserving future options to upgrade that to passenger service. One consequence of this approach is that the Grand Junction Railroad Bridge will remain just that: a railroad bridge. The BU Bridge (formerly, the Cottage Farm Bridge) will carry MUP users across the river, should they want to cross. Apologies for confusing one good story with another.
