View Larger MapEdi Birsan reports that The Navy has made a change to the Site 1 truck route. The trucks will now enter the Inland Area of Naval Weapons Station Concord via a temporary gate located on Evora Road. The trucks will use Kinne Blvd then cross North Port Chicago Highway and enter the base at the Main Gate on Taylor Road. The tentative start date for this project has been changed from Monday, August 11, 2008 to Tuesday, August 12, 2008 or Wednesday, August 13. There should not be any significant dust emissions, traffic problems or public road damage from our trucking operations. Once the project commences, members of the public may contact the project hotline at (925) 305-4428 with any concerns. The Navy will work with its contractors to ensure that any issues raised are addressed quickly and to the greatest extent possible.

Birsan says “there had been considerable friction between the Navy and the community over the route of the 100 daily truck loads (figuring on 20-25 trucks making 4-5 round trips). The previous plan was to use Hwy 4 to Port Chicago and then up Port Chicago right next to the town of Clyde. This routing is an improvement over the previous route and can be seen as a success of community pressure.”
