Anacapa Island Opens—Staircase Replaced

This week the staircase on Anacapa Island was replaced using a Skycrane
heavy-lift helicopter contracted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The
National Park Service expects to open the island to the public on Saturday,
December 4, 2010.

“We are indebted to the expertise in managing this project provided by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,” said Channel Islands National Park
Superintendent Russell E. Galipeau Jr. “We are very pleased that the island
will be open for visitors just in time for whale watching and wildflower
season.”

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers partnered with the National Park Service
to manage the contract for replacing the island staircase. The contractor,
Cutting Edge Concrete Services, Inc., used a heavy-lift helicopter to
remove the old staircase and to fly out the new staircase from the Ventura
Harbor to Anacapa Island...
