Latest Update from Facebook
"Work continues to prepare for the
more permanent entrance to
be constructed. When there is a requirement for the many truckloads of
clean fill which will be brought in to the LF, the existing ramps from
the
Korean War Vet Hwy will be operational (hopefully in the April-May
time-frame). The work taking place now is in preparation for the ramp
and road which will connect the KWV Parkway ramps and will keep
all trucks off residential streets."
