City says Bear Ridge and Mountain-to-River trailhead projects have started; completion dates in 2026
Summary
Capital Improvements staff said contractors have mobilized for the Bear Ridge and Mountain-to-River trailhead projects. Notices to proceed were issued Sept. 2 and Sept. 29; Bear Ridge is scheduled per contract for completion in March 2026. TxDOT and railroad permits were required for the Mountain-to-River project and have been obtained.
Capital Improvements staff provided a construction update on two trailhead projects.
Port Gilbert Guerrero, with the Capital Improvements program, told the board that the Bear Ridge trailhead received a notice to proceed on Sept. 2; contractors have demobilized and completed preliminary grading and submittal reviews. The Bear Ridge contract lists a March 2026 completion date, Guerrero said.
Guerrero said the Mountain-to-River trailhead received a notice to proceed Sept. 29 and that contractors are mobilized. He noted the project required permits from the Texas Department of Transportation and the railroad for a crossing at Donofin; those permits have been secured and initial work has begun.
Guerrero said he will return to the board with photos and a more detailed progress report at the next meeting and reiterated that contract dates are the baseline: "If you finish a little bit earlier, great. We'll let you know. But at least per contract, that's the deadline." (paraphrase).
Ending: Staff will bring photographic updates and a schedule review at a future meeting.
