Construction Update Information
River Park rangers and volunteers at work on Bernardo Mountain
You probably know that this year the San Dieguito River Park has been engaged in several major construction projects as part of implementing the Coast to Crest Trail - the coastal area boardwalk, the Del Dios Gorge bridge, and the bicycle/pedestrian bridge over Lake Hodges. In addition, the River Park Board has also just awarded a contract for construction of a series of water quality treatment ponds in the coastal area, and for construction of a trail underneath the I-5 freeway bridge. Several additional projects are in the planning stages. It is our goal to keep the information about these projects current on our website - to check the progress, click here.
