Catawba Falls Trail Visitor Safety Improvements

Scope of Work: There is a need to improve the trail to enhance user safety and reduce impacts to the Catawba River. Some parts of the Catawba Falls Trail are excessively steep and pose a hazard to trail users. Rerouting the trail at designated areas will improve user safety and reduce erosion. Constructing viewing platforms will also improve user safety. This project includes slide repair with a retaining wall, native surface trail construction, boardwalk construction, staircase construction, and elevated viewing platform construction, etc. Features will be constructed from cast in place concrete, gabion, wood, and steel, some of which may require off-site fabrication. The project is area is in a remote location with challenging conditions requiring crossing streams/rivers, limited construction access, rock slope conditions, high public use, slope reinforcement, bridges, etc.
