We have a few projects currently in the works for the old Ridge Route. All are in varying states of progress. Our priority is, as always, to get the roadway fully opened to the public, to keep it preserved, and maintained. Please use the links below to learn more about each project and how you can help. In 2024, we plan to start holding online monthly (Zoom) meetings regarding these topics, what their current status is, and what needs to be done.
