A $722,000 project to rehabilitate both the paved and decomposed granite lanes of the Old Rail Trail is expected to begin this month, work that could close segments of the trail for up to three days at a time. The project will cover the entire trail from Blackie’s Pasture to Lagoon Road, opposite the library, with construction taking place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, though hours and traffic-control measures could change as the start date approaches, Tiburon Public Works Superintendent Steve Palmer said.
