Ancient Trail Reconstruction Project: Tonalea Trail to Kachina Trail

What's New...

June 28, 2022:

• The Ancient Trail Reconstruction Project continued on schedule this week with the installation of corrugated metal pipe (CMP) drainage extensions; the lowering of the roadway's existing manholes, and hard rock excavation on the north slope of the project for the new drainage ditch. Subgrade prep for upcoming paving operations is slated for next week. 

Please note that Ancient Trail is closed between Tonalea Trail and Kachina Trail throughout construction to help expedite completion of this project, which is expected to be done by mid- to late-July. As always, this schedule is subject to change due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

Project Overview
