River and Riparian
Throughout the design and construction phases of the SH 82 expansion project, extensive precautions were taken to maintain the integrity and health of the Roaring Fork River and preserve its riparian zones.
These precautions included:
- Restricting construction so that it
did not directly affect the river
- Intercepting and filtering highway
runoff using the latest management practices
- Establishing an erosion control plan
for the entire length of the project
- Preserving essential wetland and riparian zones
