Project Description

The goal of this project is to partially restore lost recreational opportunities on lands owned by the Department of the Interior (DOI) caused by the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill by improving future visitor use and experiences at the Davis Bayou Area of Gulf Islands National Seashore (GUIS). Project objectives are to implement roadway improvements for the benefit of bicyclists and pedestrians by widening a 1.82-mile length of Park Road from Highway 90 to Robert McGhee Rd. Two multiple-use bicycle-pedestrian lanes -- one on each side of the road -- will be constructed. Traffic calming structures will also be added to the road.
