Coastal Rail Emergency Projects

Construction Updates

The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA), in coordination with Metrolink, is taking emergency action to stabilize the rail line in north San Clemente.

Construction Activities

Contractors have begun mobilizing equipment as they prepare to remove the remaining spans of the San Clemente Beach Trail bridge near Mariposa Point and place riprap at locations between North Beach and Mariposa Point. The trail will be closed intermittently. The bridge will be restored as part of a future project.

Contractors will work from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. No nighttime work is anticipated.

These activities are expected to be completed by mid-June.

This work may be loud. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen operational issues. Train horns may be sounded.
