Submitted by paula on Thu, 07/12/2018 - 5:00am
Construction is now underway on Forest Service Road 1202, known as Fountain Place Road, to replace the existing six foot culvert with a 30-foot bridge nd improve access by removing trees, patching asphalt, constructing infiltration basins and installing an 18-inch culvert.
The road is closed to vehicle traffic at Saxon Creek. There is a detour available for bicycles and pedestrians but no vehicles are allowed until the project is finished. The upper section of the road may be accessed from Powerline Road (12N08) to Saxon Tie Road (12N17).
Federal contractors supported by U.S. Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit (LTBMU) construction crews are doing the work.
Work is expected to be completed by the end of the grading season, October 15, 2018.
