Black Hawk
UPDATE:
The Cedar Valley Nature Trail remains
closed from King Road near McFarlane Park in La Porte City to the Bear Creek Bridge
south of Brandon. Crews are on site working to complete the trail shouldering
work following the paving.
Work being completed on the unpaved
portion of the Cedar Valley Nature Trail is being funded through a Destination
Iowa Grant and American Rescue Plan Act funding.
In addition, the trail remains closed
from Miller Creek Road south to Ripple Road for the replacement of Miller Creek
Bridge. Crews have made significant progress on this bridge replacement with
the pile driving being completed for both bridge abutments. Concrete forming/pouring
of the abatements and pier is currently underway.
NEW TRAIL CLOSURE NOTICE: Effective
August 20, 2024
We have been notified that the contractor
will be mobilizing to begin the replacement of the M1 bridge on Tuesday, August
20th. M1 Bridge is located just south of King Road which carries the
trail over a backwater area of the Cedar River. This section of trail is
currently closed for the paving work that is happening further south but will
remain closed from King Road south to the McFarlane bridge over the Cedar River
for the duration of the M1 bridge replacement.
Please avoid the closed sections of the
trail and obey ALL trail closure signage. The closures are there for the safety
of the public and the contractors.
Thank You for your patience and
cooperation as we continue to work on improve the Cedar Valley Nature Trail.
