Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail

Joseph J. Albanese, Inc. Brought to Life the Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail Segment 5 as Prime Contractor on Its First Federal Public Works Project

For the 7.29-mile long Monterey Bay Sanctuary Scenic Trail that runs along the mountainous Santa Cruz coastline, the team converted a dirt path into a beautiful paved trail. This project’s capabilities range from excavation and slope stabilization, including 36 culverts and 13 water line replacements, to site concrete, shotcrete and paving. The new trail provides safe access to the scenic coastline and to nearby State Parks and beaches. Getting it done, safely.

“We always take great pride in working toward delivering the highest quality product possible. Since the trail is here in our own backyard, we are especially excited about this project.”
