Project Benefits

  • Resurfacing efforts will provide a smoother driving experience. Studies show an even roadway surface decreases everyday wear-and-tear on vehicles and allows for better driver control in variable weather conditions.
  • Upgraded curb ramps will enhance pedestrian accessibility for those who walk, roll and stroll through the corridor.
  • Guardrail replacements will offer added safety benefits to motorists traveling along the winding mountain highway.
