Howe Park Bridges Temporarily Closing for Upgrades and ADA Compliance Improvements

Please be advised that the Howe Park middle and west bridges will experience periodic closures to facilitate cleaning, drying, and the application of a protective sealer. As part of this process, plastic sheeting will be installed beneath the bridges to ensure that no wood preservatives enter the waterway.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during these intermittent closures. We are pleased to announce that this essential maintenance will help preserve the bridges for years to come.

For any questions or concerns please contact the District office at 916-927-3802.
