Several riprap projects are underway in Mile 238.
Report Details
Several riprap projects are underway in Mile 238. The access at Seagull Lane is being reconstructed and mainly used by bulldozers working on the riprap, so best to avoid that area when working. Another project happening near access 50A, which can't be used at this time. Other unmarked accesses between 50A and 50 are dangerous, either due to naturally-formed drop-offs or current riprap projects.
