Highlighted Project: Cottonwood RoadConstructed: FY 2015 Success Story: Cottonwood Road provides access to the new National Park Service (NPS) Minuteman Missile National Historic Site Visitor Center/Museum, the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands and Badlands National Park. The existing road transitioned from paved to gravel surface two hundred yards north of Interstate 90, causing a safety hazard. The existing pavement section exhibited severe cracking to where its condition could not support or sustain continued or increased vehicular traffic. The project included the widening and paving of the roadway. The road was also raised to improve drainage and reduce the chance of the roadway overtopping. CFLHD and the NPS also collaborated and included construction of a parking lot at the new facility, funded by NPD. This project provided a safe facility for visitors to enjoy the new NPS facilities.
