In January 2022, U.S. Representative Jimmy Panetta announced that he had obtained $12.6 million in Federal Highway Administration funds to repair the road and rebuild the USFS Nacimiento Ranger Station destroyed in the blaze.

This includes replacing the fire station, barracks, engine garage and pumphouse, along with some site utilities, such as a water well, solar connections and access roads.

[8] Nacimiento-Fergusson Road connects California State Route 1 at the south end of the Kirk Creek Bridge[9] with Jolon 24.5 miles (39.4 km) to the east.
