Description

The Conzelman Road and Various Routes project is located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.The project began in March 2009 and was completed in October 2010. The project addressed multiple deficiencies in pavement, drainage, alignment and safety. The existing road was 22-24 foot wide with limited sight distances. With busses traveling through this area, existing narrow lanes were a safety hazard to the bicyclists whom frequent the routes.  Trails and viewpoints were reestablished for park visitors to be able to enjoy the aesthetics of the national recreation area.
