Grapevine Pass Access Road Project
CX(s) Applied: B1.3

The Western Area Power Administration, Sierra Nevada Region is proposing to repair and maintain an existing 1.3 mile communication tower access road Grapevine Pass. The road is currently used infrequently, but slumping roadcut material has intruded into drainage ditches, forcing water back onto the roadway and causing minor erosion in the road prism. The project involves grading the existing roadway and ditch, cleaning and armoring ten existing culverts, and installing nine new waterbars/rolling dips in the road prism to direct water off the roadway.
