Project Description
Client: J. Flowers
Location: Victor, ID
Year Completed: 2022
The Challenges
A very complicated road build. The engineers said we “couldn’t build the road with less than a 10% grade”. Not only did we come in at 9.8%, but we also managed to divert the route around several large trees, while maintaining a beautiful forest-feel!
