UPDATE:
The Cedar Valley Nature Trail remains
closed from King Road near McFarlane Park in La Porte City south to the McFarlane
Bridge over the Cedar River for the duration of the M1 Bridge replacement.
Crews are making progress on this replacement project and have completed the
construction of the bridge abutments and will soon be prepping for the decking.
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 as
well. The concrete deck has been poured and crews are continuing work for the
approaches, railings and bank armoring around the abutments.
In
addition, the trail remains closed from Weiden Road to McKellar Road for the replacement
of the E3 Bridge. Crews have made significant progress on this bridge
replacement as well.

We
have been notified that the contractor will begin repaving work just south of
Evansdale on the Cedar Valley Nature Trail on Monday, October 21. The
trail will be closed from the E2 bridge, adjacent to the Cedar River bridge
south of Evansdale, to the 2nd Weiden Road crossing north of Gilbertville
for the duration of this repaving work.
NEW TRAIL CLOSURE NOTICE: Effective
October 23, 2024
We have been notified that the contractor
will be mobilizing to begin the paving from Spruce Street in La Porte City to
King Road today. The other trail closures previously noted for paving near
Evansdale and the three bridge replacements remain in effect at this time.
Please

closures are there for the safety of the public and the contractors.
Thank
You for your patience and cooperation as we continue improving the Cedar Valley
Nature Trail.
