Two gates have been installed on Lookout Mountain Road — a project that supporters hope will cut down on illegal and destructive activities after sunset — with routine night closures set to begin later this month.
The decision to construct automatic gates on Lookout Mountain Road came after multiple community meetings and presentations dating back to 2022. After its approval, two gates were installed to close a 4.1-mile stretch of road overnight.
The gates passed an inspection on Jan. 8, and crews are moving into a couple weeks of testing with first responders, who will have the ability to open and close the gates overnight during an emergency, according to a Wednesday update from the Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS). This testing period will run through Jan. 28.
The following day, Jan. 29, the routine night closures will begin.
