Needle's Eye tunnel with rock screens, bolts and concrete barriers marring

Snow melt easily makes it through the roof. Freeze and thawing action causes
boulders to drop without warning. If the restoration project were a success,
the Moffat Road would be a very popular summer route to Grand County, Colorado.
