A segment of the American River bike trail near Rancho Cordova was damaged during a major storm last November. Now, Sacramento County and the city have closed off the section to complete a fix and hopes to re-open it by the end of August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liz Bellas, director of Sacramento County regional parks, says she hasn\u2019t seen damage to the trail like this in more than 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe riverbank that was adjacent to the trail was undercut and collapsed and fell away,\u201d she said. \u201cThe last time that I can recall something like this happening was in the big floods of \u201986.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crews are now stabilizing the riverbank, and the trail for cyclists has been moved inland a few hundred feet. Those who use the trail have to take an approximately two-mile detour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
