The project includes a landslide located on Larimer Avenue.

The project will impact both lanes, spanning a length of approximately 685 ft.

The proposed repair is the Geotechnical treatment of pipe dowels and the application of a GRS (Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil) slope to the failed areas.

Roadway construction will also be applied within the failure area.

The road will be closed and traffic will be detoured during construction. The detour will utilize Rodi Road to Business 22 to SR 376 to SR 130.

Construction anticipated to begin late-July 2019 and be completed by November 2019.
