PROJECT SUMMARY
For access to the top of the project site, extensive negotiations were required in order to obtain an easement in an area with exceptionally high property values. On the easement, the contractor placed a crane with a 300-foot boom, which transported workers and supplies up and down the mountain throughout construction.
Planning also included traffic control and road closures near the world-famous Incline Railway and Point Park for nearly 3 months.
