Fire Damage Recovery: This project directly addresses critical safety infrastructure along the North Entrance Road, Cape Royal Road, and Point Imperial Road that was significantly impacted by recent wildland fire activity.

Safety & Preservation Infrastructure: Immediate targeted improvements focus on pavement structural patching, asphalt concrete overlays, drainage reconditioning (including pinned revet mattresses), and full replacement of damaged guardrails, signing, and permanent striping.

Targeted Intervention: The primary focus is to deliver rapid, effective safety stabilization to safely accommodate seasonal public traffic within a highly sensitive alpine park environment (8,000 – 9,000 ft elev.)
