The Bureau of Reclamation’s geotechnical crews will be on hand to perform these activities. Additionally, heavy equipment will be operating in the area during these dates. The temporary closure is essential for crews to complete work for the Anderson Ranch Dam Raise analysis, while providing for employee and public safety near the work zone. Data collected will affect design plans for the Anderson Ranch Dam Raise Project.
