The bridge repair work on the Cedar Valley Trail is now complete and Bear Creek Bridge and Prairie Creek Bridge are open for use. However, a new project will begin on the trail and require closure at Benton County:
On Wednesday, September 19th, Miller Logging will be completing storm damage clean up on the trail. Miles 16-23 will be closed. The expected timeline is 2 weeks. Please watch LinnCountyParks.com for updates regarding the trail status.
The sign at the trailhead now says mile 16-23 are closed till mid-November. What happened?
Hi Alan,
The Linn County Conservation Department is doing some storm clean-up along that section of the trail. We hope it will be done sooner than that, but it could take until then. Watch LinnCountyParks.com, the project link, for updated information. We will also post it on the LCTA website as well.
I asked one of the Linn County Conservation employees I saw cleaning the trail earlier this week about the delay. He told me the contractor had disappeared with no explanation for a week and that it would take a week or so to finish now that they were back on the job.
