Construction Begins On Calistoga Section Of Napa Valley Vine Trail

CALISTOGA, CA — Paving of the Vine Trail section between Bothe State Park and Dunaweal Lane will begin as soon as Monday, Dec. 19, and pedestrians and cyclists should avoid traveling through this construction area for safety reasons, the Napa Valley Transportation Authority said.

As construction crews pave this section of the Trail, there will be significant gaps where bridges, culverts and retaining walls are under construction, according to the agency.

It will be safe to access this Vine Trail segment when it is complete in summer 2023.

“We are excited to expand the popular Vine Trail up to Calistoga and understand the eagerness of the public to use the trail now, but the trail will not be officially opened to the public until summer 2023,” said NVTA Executive Director Kate Miller. “It’s because of safety concerns that we urge the public to stay clear of the trail until it opens. Weather has been cooperating so far, we are making good progress, and we appreciate the public’s patience.”

Once completed, the Vine Trail will be a 47-mile-long paved and scenic trail from the Vallejo Ferry Terminal to Calistoga. Construction on the St. Helena-Calistoga segment of the Vine Trail began in July 2022.
