Trail Maintenance Alert!
Over the next several months work will be on-going on the River Road Bridge (as it crosses over the Virgin River near 1450 S) and upstream of River Road Bridge that will have some impacts on city paved trails.
Crews are currently removing a large sandbar and haul trucks are crossing the Virgin River North Trail, east of the River Road bridge over the Virgin River. The trail will not be closed, and there is a Stop in all directions. The Stop sign on the trail also has advance warning. The trail will be cleaned nightly at the crossing, and once the work is complete, the trail will be repaved. This work will be ongoing until next April.
Work has already begun on widening of River Road Bridge. Because work will be occurring above the trail, there will be times when the trail will be closed for safety. The construction contract allows the trail to be closed during night time hours only, well after dusk, and re-opened prior to early morning. The city is requiring the contractor to post the closure dates and times along the trail several days ahead of the closure dates.
