Given the unforgiving terrain, the workers building this new toll road had a tough job ahead of them.  The road was to wind its way through Cajon Canyon.  There are spots in which huge boulders are scattered about, and the Canyon is very narrow in places.   Plus, the terrain is very hilly, with steep inclines and loose rocks strewn all over.  Indeed, even today’s established off-road trails in the area pose challenges for drivers, for the same reasons.
