Southern Walnut Creek Trail temporarily closed
Friday, January 10, 2020 by Jessi Devenyns
Maintenance and repairs on U.S. Highway 183 will close the portion of Southern Walnut Creek Trail that crosses the highway just south of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The temporary closure will begin Jan. 13 and continue until the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority completes the demolition of the old U.S. 183 bridge that traverses Boggy Creek. The project is estimated to take two weeks. Weekend warriors will still have access to the trail crossing, which will be open on weekends but closed Monday through Friday. During the closure period, there will be a detour shared-use path along northbound and southbound U.S. 183 that will lead to a pedestrian crossing at Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.
