The Federal Highway Administration will fund and oversee this project. Roadwork is expected to begin in spring 2018.

The road will not temporarily close at night or for up to several days at a time.
For more information, review the EA and FONSI on the National Park Service Planning, Environment and Public Comment (PEPC) website.
