The Del Rio Trail Bridge is open!

The Del Rio Trail Bridge is complete and open to the public, completing the final missing link along the Del Rio Trail. The bridge carries trail users over Interstate 5 and Riverside Boulevard, allowing people to walk, bike or roll seamlessly between south Sacramento and downtown.

Project description

Del Rio Trail will provide an additional 4.8-mile trail running south through the Land Park, South Land Park, Freeport Manor, Z’Berg, Pocket and Meadowview neighborhoods between Interstate 5 and Freeport Boulevard.

The Del Rio Trail is an inner-city trail that will allow cyclists, pedestrians, runners, and dog walkers to travel for miles to access schools, parks, retail centers, and jobs. It provides the potential for recreation amenities and will serve as an alternative commute route for people to bike to work rather than drive on freeways and boulevards.

Artwork

In addition to the trail, the project will be installing permanent sculptures along the length of the trail. For more information, please visit our artwork website.

Cost and funding

The estimated total project cost is $23,000,000. This includes all project costs from feasibility studies, through construction. These funds are provided primarily through state and federal grants, which leverage a smaller amount of local funds. This includes roughly $11,000,000 in Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds, $5,000,000 in Clean California funds, and $2,000,000 in Active Transportation Program (ATP) funds. The remainder of the costs are paid through local sources including New Measure A, and Transportation Development Act and Transportation Development Impact Fee funds.
