Update for February 1, 2008

The Women With Bait steelhead tournament officially began today – good luck to all participants and outfitters!  Daily road closures are 8:30 am – 5:30 pm (4 pm on Friday) until March 7th.  Monday and Wednesday mid-day openings (1 – 2 pm) will continue.

The retaining wall design is progressing.  FHWA is using the foundation and anchor design concepts from Debco’s proposal, and we’re further developing the design.

There is one change to the summer schedule shown in last week’s update.  Several residents commented that traffic is still heavy until 8:30 or 9 pm in the summer, so the 2-hour delays will start at 9 pm, not 8 pm.  Here is a snapshot of the summer schedule...
