Visitor Entrance to Grand Canyon West – Skywalk

Hualapai Tribe in NW Arizona

This phased project was for the initial design for Visitor Facilities at the Grand Canyon Skywalk located at the south rim of the Grand Canyon on the lands of the Hualapai Tribe. The visitor entrance included the construction of roadways and parking for 1,500 vehicles and 86 buses leading to a 10,500 sq ft air structure that serves as a temporary visitor’s center. JEL’s responsibilities included the complete site development plan encompassing the grading and drainage plans and a water/sewer system design including a sewage treatment plant and disposal system. The design of all roadways, parking lots and design of the associated traffic flows were part of the first phase design in the environmentally sensitive and challenging area. $6 million
