Granite wins $20 million bike trail project in Sacramento area

Granite has won the $20 million Union Valley Bike Trail Extension project from Sacramento Municipal Utility District, serving the area between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe.

Located within the El Dorado National Forest, the environmentally-protected area offers users a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience. The bike trail extension will create access for recreation along the Union Valley Reservoir’s north shore, improving accessibility and connecting to the numerous campgrounds in the area.

The scope of work includes four and a half miles of a paved bike trail, a paved parking area, picnic area, one mile of boardwalk, and multiple bridge structures around a portion of the reservoir.

Construction is expected to be completed in October 2023.
