Brentwood opens pedestrian crossing above Highway 4, a critical link on Mokelumne Trail

The Mokelumne Trail Bicycle and Pedestrian Overcrossing above state Highway 4 in Brentwood officially opened Wednesday morning.

The 16-foot-wide, 850-foot-long overcrossing provides a critical infrastructure link along the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail, which once completed will extend from the Mokelumne River’s headwaters at the Sierra Crest to Martinez. Roughly half of the multi-use trail has been completed.
