Sacramento, CA (CBS13)– The Del Rio Trail in Sacramento, which opened in May with a new bike and pedestrian path, has been marred by a disappointing setback. This is a multi-million dollar bridge connecting the trail to the Sacramento River Trail. However, authorities found the bridge to be structurally unsound, and made the decision to closed it indefinitely. Amidst the various risks that drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists confront daily, Belal Hamideh Law is relieved that no injuries resulted from this situation. As an experienced personal injury lawyer, Belal urges both the Sacramento community and authorities to be patient and prioritize the safety of all road users.
Inspectors discovered significant construction deficiencies, including the use of unauthorized materials, which have rendered the bridge unsafe. The City of Sacramento has issued a notice to the bridge builder. Mountain Methods, Inc., will have to conduct the demolition of the existing structure and its reconstruction using approved materials.
This incident has caused frustration and disappointment among local residents. Bike advocates were eagerly anticipating the completion of the trail, too. The bridge’s collapse has created a gap in the trail, forcing people to detour or turn back.
While the city is working to address the issue, the delay in the bridge’s repair or replacement has raised concerns. Those are mainly about the quality of construction and the accountability of those involved in the project.
