Constructi​on Begins August 20 on Trail Improvemen​ts Along West River Pkwy/Ja​mes I. Rice Pkwy

On Wednesday, August 20th, trail construction will begin along the west bank of the Central Riverfront and Mississippi River Gorge.  Approximately 3.2 miles of trails are being reconstructed from Plymouth Avenue to Franklin Avenue, and completion is scheduled for July of 2015.

Detours will be posted for trail users, who should expect trail closures for the remainder of the 2014 construction season.  The adjacent parkways will remain open except at the mudslide area near 4th St. South, below the Univ. of MN Medical Center Fairview.

Construction schedule updates will be posted Thursday mornings on the project webpage. Heavy equipment will begin removing trees Thursday, 8/21, at the south end of the corridor and pavement removal will begin Monday, 8/25.

For further information, visit the project page or contact Deb Bartels, Project Manager, at dbartels@minneapolisparks.org or (612) 230-6438.
