Project Overview
The Salmon River Road project is needed to improve the safety of the roadway and to enhance the access the roadway provides. The road provides critical access to both property owners and recreation in the area, and currently contains a number of unsafe conditions, including substandard road conditions and landslide risks. The project will provide the people who depend on this road with the means to access their property, run their business, or enjoy the features of the area with a safer road and reduced risk of landslides and washouts.
