California State Parks, in collaboration with the Sacramento Municipal Utilities District, will intermittently close a segment of the American River Bike Trail within Folsom Lake State Recreation Area this month for a utility undergrounding project.
Starting March 17, the trail will be closed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday between Mountain Oak Court and the Rainbow Bridge, as shown on the map below. State Parks expects to reopen the trail by April 1.
This trail closure is necessary for SMUD to install utilities beneath the bike path. During construction hours, there will be no designated detour route, and trail users are encouraged to find an alternate path. Outside of construction hours, the trail will remain open but be reduced to a single travel lane.
