It's another setback for the troubled trail. City leaders celebrated the grand opening of the paved bike and pedestrian path in May 2024. Now, just 16 months later, contractors are grinding down sections of the new asphalt and starting over.
Trail users say they spotted cracks shortly after the trail opened.
The City of Sacramento confirms that a section of the pavement is failing, and engineers say the underlying soil is to blame.
An 1,800-foot section of the trail between Sutterville Road and Riverside Boulevard is now closed off while crews fix the damage.
The city ordered the contractor, Mountain Methods, Inc., to tear it down, which is currently in progress.
The defective paved trail was also built by Mountain Methods, which was the lowest bidder on the $12 million contract. The city says they are legally responsible for paying to fix the problems.
The city says the pavement replacement work is scheduled to last through October 10, and the bridge is supposed to open to the public by the end of the year.
