Work has begun to repair the Cedar River Trail Trestle, which spans the river just east
of Riverview Park. During construction, the Maplewood Roadside parking lot and
sections of the trail west and east of the bridge will be closed. Our parks and trails
division have marked the detour routes. These closures are in addition to the portion
of the trail from Riverview Park to Cedar River Park that was closed after flooding
February. We’re anticipating completion of the work by the end of August.
Preventative street maintenance will continue to impact traffic and result in
occasional street closures.
