Start of construction pushed back to July

A number of issues have delayed the start of construction on the new Mississippi East Bank Trail. Most notably, contraction execution took longer than anticipated and several upcoming major events are using the Scherer site for parking, which would interfere with construction.

The trail is still scheduled to be complete by the end of October. The pavement will be in place in early fall, followed by landscaping improvements and lighting installation.
