Escondido Creek Trail construction begins This Week

Beginning the week of April 7, construction crews will be preparing the north bike path from Juniper to Hickory Street by working on irrigation, clearing vegetation and performing crack sealing on the pavement. Access to the trail may be limited at times. Flaggers will be on site to help direct traffic.  

Over the next couple of weeks, a durable decomposed granite trail will be added along the south side of the Creek Corridor. Work is expected to take a couple of weeks and will involve laying the foundation using base materials and decomposed granite. 

Please pay attention to road signs in the area for the most up-to-date information on trail access.  

Upcoming work 

Throughout the month of April, construction crews will continue working on the creek trail from Citracado Parkway to Midway Drive. This includes marking the trail boundaries and identifying utility locations. Additionally, crews will apply a seal coating to help extend the pavement’s lifespan.  

Open during construction  

Businesses along the Creek Trail Corridor remain open during construction and appreciate your support — so be sure to stop by and shop locally throughout the year.
