CA ftbr folsom south trail (1)

Added: Aug 01, 2017 10:21 am The Folsom South Trail Improvements project is located in Sacramento County in Folsom, CA on Bureau of Reclamation property adjacent to the Folsom South Canal. The trail, initially constructed for use by BOR maintenance vehicles along the length of the canal, has been opened to the public in recent years due to urban development and increasing popularity amongst bicyclists and pedestrians.

The project consists of safety improvements for bicyclists and pedestrians, and pavement preservation.

Safety enhancements will be achieve via signing, pavement marking removal and replacement, and hazard mitigation. Object markers will be placed on blunt end immovable obstacles and on limited vertical clearances at a tunnel crossing. Existing blunt end curbs will be tapered or removed. Fences that currently present obstacles along the canal, particularly for bicyclists, will be relocated to flatten existing tapers in the direction of travel. Entrances to the trail at multiple cross roads will be widened to facilitate bicycle ingress/egress.

Pavement preservation consists of asphalt pavement patching, crack sealing, and micro surfacing.

The BOR will allow full trail closures in work areas as needed. areas in coordination with the Bureau of Reclamation, but no delays nor closures of through roadways.

Construction is planned between October and December. Historically, weather conditions typically allow construction during this timeframe.

Significant quantities for the overall project include:
Line Item Unit Est. Quantity
Micro Surfacing, Type 3 SQ YD 42,700
Crack Cleaning & Sealing MILES 10
