Though it is a picturesque landscape of clear waters, jagged mountains, and lush greenery seemingly divorced from the state's sprawling metropolises, it is, in fact, only a few hours' drive from the polyglot city of Los Angeles, making it an environment that is at once isolated and accessible. This conflation presented a rather significant challenge to Hat Creek Construction & Materials as it proceeded with the full-depth reclamation and rescue of South Lake Road. "South Lake is very popular for camping and fishing, particularly fly fishing," Tony Bolman, project manager for Hat Creek, told Roads & Bridges. "The U.S. Forest Service, which owns the road along with Inyo County, said that during our summer construction window they had over a 100% increase in visitors due to the pandemic. Even though this project site was up in the mountains, it's only about four hours from Los Angeles, so when everything first got shut down- schools closed, lots of folks remote working-everybody tried to get out of L.A. and came up for some recreation." |
