This process will continue overnight until all Army vehicles depart the area, expected by June 17. Visual assessments are underway to both evaluate the infrastructure damage mitigation plan and identify any possible roadway damage. Thus far, officials have determined the protective plates performed as intended and we are confident that ongoing inspection efforts will yield that minimal to no additional cost for roadway repairs will be required. Subsurface inspections will also be completed in the coming weeks in conjunction with the National Park Service and Federal Highway Administration.
