Patience! Your much-safer bayside Eureka/Arcata bike commute is coming, people!

Roughly two months after a “ribbon-tying” ceremony marked the beginning of construction on Humboldt Bay Trail South — a long-envisioned, paved multi-use trail connecting Arcata and Eureka mere feet from the shores of shimmery Humboldt Bay — work crews could be seen Tuesday morning pulling up old railroad ties and tracks.

LoCO safely pulled off the safety corridor and gathered a bit of imagery of the historic work which officials hope will wrap before the end of 2024. Read our previous coverage here and/or scroll down for track demolition.
