Beach Avenue Landslide Repair and Island Drive Pavement Repair Project
/Nearly four years after the cataclysmic events brought on by the first weather event termed an “Atmospheric River” by the weather gurus, major repairs to Beach Avenue are scheduled to begin.
Granite Construction will be doing the work. Their plan is to store equipment and some materials on the Aiston Preserve property and work from the south to the north of the destroyed roadway.
There will be a full road closure of Beach Avenue starting approximately from the intersection of Beach Avenue and Cedar Avenue to the south near the intersection of Beach Avenue and Aiston Ceeek Road. The full road closure is currently planned to take place from July 21, 2025 to September 8, 2025 as Granite reconstructs the washed-out section of Beach Avenue.
For those of you living south of Aiston Creek Road, this will be a major disruption. An alternate route around most of the work area is Berry way to Aiston Creek Road – over the bridge and down Aiston Creek Road to Beach Avenue. Please take it slowly and give yourself equal room side to side on the bridge. It’s plenty sturdy, but a little narrow. Take extra care.
In conjunction with the road closure, access to the lower entrance of the Aiston Preserve will also be closed until construction is complete. Visitors are welcome to use the “Inati Trail” access for the upper sections of the Aiston Preserve and will be able to hike down to the waterfront from there.
