Earth work will commence once the ground has dried out. From now through mid-May, the contractor will be working on the following:

Removing fences, debris and other miscellaneous encroachments from the project corridor, and installing rebar on the Land Park Underpass overhang widening.

Sometime late in the week of April 10, preliminary ground preparation near the south end of the bridge, just east of Riverside Boulevard, began. Also scheduled for that time period was grading work on the trail alignment between River- side Boulevard and Sutterville Road, and the demolition of the existing Willow Slough railroad bridge, a small wooden trestle structure south of Charlie Jensen Park. That structure will be replaced with a modern, prefabricated steel truss bridge.

Important reminder: no public through-access on the project alignment is permitted during construction.

Construction notification signage is installed throughout the project and at each trail entrance, from each roadway intersection.
