Due to snowy weather conditions for the week of Jan 13th, concrete pouring for the foundations resumed this week. In preparation for the pouring, installation of formwork for the Visitor Center’s foundation walls and north retaining wall structure continued.

Excavation activities continued on the lower parking lot area, while grading and compaction activities continued for the interpretative plaza area. Excavation and footing formwork outside the visitor center entry were completed for future trellis installation.
