Parkway Detour Update–Updated
Last week, I wrote about some repairs of the parkway around the 3 mile mark. The work was supposed to have finished by now, but there have been delays.
The notice from the Sacramento County Regional Parks said:
Beginning Thursday, March 1, the American River Parkway Bike Tail will have a short detour near Mile 3 while work is being performed to repair damage (undermining) to the trail by beavers. The detour will take trail users off the paved tail for less than 100 feet and onto the adjacent unpaved maintenance road. The detour will be in effect until the repairs are completed.
It turns out the beavers had built a larger home than was previously suspected–and then it rained.
According to County staff, paving is scheduled for tomorrow morning. However, rain may delay the project further.
Plan accordingly!
Update: It was reported to me that as of Tuesday evening, crews had finished with the paving and the trail is open.
Striping will be completed as weather permits, and the County will be bringing in decomposed granite for the shoulder soon.
