Brand Park Motorway Improvements Project Completed
The Brand Park Motorway Improvements project has been completed and the trail re-opened on November 17, 2023.  The trail is a 7.3-mile trail that connects Brand Park to the Beaudry Loop and Verdugo Motorway above. As part of the improvements, a spidermesh system was installed to help prevent future rockfalls and hillside erosion.  Note that while the trail is wide, you may encounter snakes and other wildlife!
