Reconstruct Road Segments to Improve Safety EA


The National Park Service has completed an environmental assessment (EA) for improvements to several sections of roads and intersections in Mojave National Preserve.

The proposed changes to the roadways are designed to reduce the number of accidents within the Preserve by improving roadway elevations, grades, curvature, and sight distances, and by realigning two intersections. Four locations are on paved road and total 1.94 miles; one location is on an unpaved road and is less than one quarter mile in length.

The project also includes improvements to maintain safe ingress/egress at three sites on unpaved roads that serve as main access roads for the local community. Roadway embankment protection totaling about 1.5 miles in length will be installed where flood events have frequently caused damage to the roadway and two low water crossings which total 460 feet in length will be reinforced to reduce the severity and incidence of washouts.
