Most of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve will be closed through February for a construction project.

The big picture: The park is upgrading water, sewer, electrical and telecommunication lines and restrooms, and adding new parking stalls and accessible pathways.

During construction, the park's road, upper lots and most trails will be closed.
South Beach and North Beach parking lots will stay open, plus Torrey Pines State Beach.

Yes, but: There are other places to hike along the coast.

Scripps Coastal Meander Trail, which goes along UC San Diego's bluffs to Torrey Pines State Beach or Black's Beach
Sunset Cliffs in Ocean Beach
Saigon Trail just south of Torrey Pines
Anne's Canyon Trail in Solana Beach

Zoom in: The coastal commission approved the Torrey Pines project in July. A second phase will begin next fall.
