BACKGROUND
A 72-hour storm event on November 20, 2024 resulted in a slide at Mount Veeder Road mile post marker (MPM) 5.2 reducing traffic to a single lane. On February 4, 2025, another series of storms caused additional damage around the County, leading the Board to declare a local emergency on February 18, 2025. Since then, the roadway has started to exhibit cracking between the two slides and the site has essentially become a single large project. On February 18, 2025, the Board approved a $1,000,000 in funding to address the new slide at Mount Veeder MPM 5.25. On February 25, 2025, the Board approved $301,333 for the design of repairs estimated at MPM 5.2. On May 6, 2025, the Mount Veeder 5.2 and Mount Veeder 5.25 projects were combined and the Board approved advertising the single larger project.
