The National Park Service (NPS) posted the Polychrome Area Improvements Environmental Assessment (EA) for a 30-day public review period ending February 13, 2022. The Polychrome Area Improvements EA evaluates the construction of several engineered solutions between miles 44–46 of the Denali Park Road in the Polychrome Area, including a bridge across the Pretty Rocks landslide. The EA can be accessed online.
