BLM OR/WA - Juniper Dunes Area Access Road Design and Construction

This announcement is for a continuation of an existing agreement. The objective of this project is to acquire the necessary easements, design and construct a public road, to Franklin County's road standards, for legal public access to this very popular recreation area. The route of the 4.2 mile long access road will follow the approved route that is described in U.S. DOT Federal Highway Administration's FONSI and Decision Record (WA Franklin 2013-1) for the Juniper Dunes Access Road Environmental Assessment. This project will provide a portion of the funds that are needed to design, purchase the right-of-way, and construct the road to county standards.
