New photos from PIP!



PIP Location 1: Heading north on Hwy 101; looking at what will be the Sala Rd. overcrossing. This area is just north of Boronda Road. 

Aerial view of PIP Location 4 (Crazy Horse Canyon Road area): That's a LOT of dirt being moved! The use of the temporary bridge to move dirt from the west side of Hwy 101 to the east side has greatly reduced the number of dirt hauling trucks crossing the highway.
