Lakeshore Drive / Wahweap Boulevard Rehabilitation

The National Park Service is seeking public review and comment on the Lakeshore Drive / Wahweap Boulevard Rehabilitation Environmental Assessment.

This environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared to disclose and analyze the environmental consequences of rehabilitating, restoring, and resurfacing Lakeshore Drive, Wahweap Boulevard, and Wahweap Marina Drive in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, located north of Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona.

Per National Park Service Management Policies 2006, park roads will be well-constructed, sensitive to natural and cultural resources, reflect the highest principles of park design, and enhance the visitor experience. This project is intended to rehabilitate the roadway pavement and adjacent drainage and safety structures. The need for action stems from normal wear, recurring roadway washouts, erosion of the road prism and roadside drainages, soil impingement upon guardrails that reduces function due to reduced height clearance, narrow pavement width resulting in concerns related to oversized vessel transport, significant soil deposition on the roadway during storm events and subsequent road closures, and current wearing surfaces unsuitable for high-speed travel.

This EA evaluates two alternatives: the No-Action Alternative and the Preferred Alternative, Rehabilitation.
