The bottom layer is drainage rock to allow water to filter into an underground drain. Above the drain rock will be several layers of gravel wrapped in plastic geogrids, providing a stable road base.
We will then build the road on top. A stone embankment on the downslope side will provide additional support for the reconstructed slope.
We expect design work will continue through the spring. The next milestone will be “90% design,” which includes specific plans for the entire work area, the road, excavation, erosion control and more.
We will then send the project out for bid and begin construction. We expect the road will remain closed until construction is complete by the end of 2024.
