Through this project, several unauthorized routes would first be ripped using an excavator to loosen compacted soil, reduce erosion, and enable vegetation to become established. Then, metal barriers would be installed to prevent their further use.
Location
The project centers on two general locations: the east side of Interstate-8 at the Buckman Springs Road exit and the upper loop of Long Valley Road, southwest of Interstate-8 in the same vicinity.
