Austin The Northern Walnut Creek Trail Construction

The City’s contractor will begin preparations to construct a portion of the Northern Walnut Creek Trail within Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. On Jan. 4, 2014, some of the existing trails within the park will be closed to the public for safety reasons. The trail closures will be in effect from January 2014 through September 2014. Maps of the closures will be posted within the park.

Phase 1 of the Northern Walnut Creek Trail will connect Balcones District Park to Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park. Construction will consist of a 10' wide concrete trail with 2' shoulders. The 3 mile-long trail will have approximately 9 creek crossings and 4 trail heads.

Phase 1 is expected to be complete in late 2014.
