EL DORADO COUNTY TO BEGIN TRAIL CONSTRUCTION ALONG PONY EXPRESS TRAIL IN POLLOCK PINES

El Dorado County's Department of Transportation will be constructing a new pedestrian and bike path along Pony Express Trail between Sanders Drive and Sly Park Road beginning at the end of April or early May as part of the Pony Express Trail Bicycle, Pedestrian and ADA Improvements Capital Improvement Project. It is anticipated to be completed in September 2024.

Improvements include approximately 1.7 miles of Class II bike lanes on both sides of Pony Express Trail, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, crosswalks and signage with flashing beacons, and drainage improvements along Pony Express Trail within the project limits.

This work will result in temporary shoulder and lane closures along Pony Express Trail with flagging. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work zone to arrive at their destinations on time.

For questions regarding this construction, please contact the County's Transportation main line at (530) 621-5900 (select Option 3 for Engineering).
