Contacts for Current Construction Projects impacting River Park
American River Contract 1
- Objective: This water-side bank protection repair project is located within the City of Sacramento, California. This particular reach of riverbank has been identified as a critical erosion risk in the highest velocity reach of the American River within Sacramento and needs to be brought up to modern bank protection standards.
- Duration: Construction is scheduled to complete at the end of November 2022. The bike trail under the H Street bridge will reopen in January, and new plants/trees will be planted in Sprint 2023.
- Work Areas: This repair site is located only on the south side (left bank) of the American River from just upstream of the H Street bridge near Sacramento State University downstream to Paradise Beach.

Cap City Corridor Project
- Objective: The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in cooperation with the City of Sacramento, Sacramento Area Council of Governments, Sacramento County, Sacramento Regional Transit, and Sacramento Transportation Authority proposes to make improvements on SR 51/Cap City between post miles 1.0 to 4.4 in Sacramento County including widening of the I-80 bridge.
- Description: The proposed project would widen the existing roadway, extend the existing bus/carpool lanes, construct auxiliary lanes, improve intelligent transportation system elements, construct a new Class I bike path on the American River Bridge, and widen or replace existing structures within the project limits.
- Impact: The main impacts River Park include (1) the likelihood of the sound wall behind some of the homes on Erlewine Circle moving closer, (2) the addition of a bike/pedestrian path on the bridge going over the American River connecting the CalExpo side to the River Park side, and (3) construction noise during the project.
- Update November 2022: (1) The pile driving activity causing the loud bangs is now complete; noise for the remainder of the project should be lower, (2) work related to moving the sound wall will begin soon with removal of the existing sound wall in the Spring, and (3) one of the contractors will be accessing the site through Glenn Hall.
- Duration: Construction related to the bridge widening is expected to occur between 2021-22 while other elements of the CapCity Corridor project are expected to occur in the 2024-25 timeframe.

Two Rivers Trail Phase II
- Objective: The Two Rivers Trail Phase II project will provide a 2.4 mile long multi-use path between Sutter’s Landing Park and H Street, by Sacramento State.
- Duration: Trail construction is scheduled to start soon and should be completed by November 2023.
- Update November 2022: The design changed such that the paved trail will no longer go under the railroad [creating a gap in the trail], and the paved trail will be wider than originally planned [10-12ft], narrowing the unpaved shoulder to ~2ft.
- Work Area: This portion of the Trail runs along the American River levee from the H Street Bridge to Interstate 80.
