SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation is beginning its first phase of construction for fish passage at Nimbus Fish Hatchery beginning in mid-March and ending around October.
A temporary detour will reroute recreationists to cross Hazel Avenue, using the existing traffic light near the entrance to the California State University, Sacramento Aquatic Center.
The detour will remain for about two years while the fish passage project is under construction. Recreationists are advised to exercise caution and adhere to posted signage throughout the area.
The fish ladder will help maintain a reliable system for collecting adult fish to assist with meeting mitigation obligations for spawning areas blocked by the Nimbus Dam construction.
