Last bridge at Wilson Park nearing completion

The last, and most difficult bridge, in Wilson Park is nearing completion. After it's done site clean up and site restoration will really begin. Trail maintenance will be ongoing. Any planting will be held off for awhile until it cools off some. This will give the plants a better survival chance.

Please be very careful as you use the park. Equipment, construction material and waste material are still present in the park. Some of the trails have not been re-worked yet.

Bridge replacement at Wilson Park

After getting the agreement with the University of Missouri and final approval from City Council work on replacing the bridges at Clyde Wilson Memorial Park (aka Rockhill Park) has begun. The concrete walls, steel and decking have been installed for the first bridge on the Rollins Ave side. No railings have been install because of the equipment the crews are bringing across.

The second bridge has been demolished. Replacement work for it should begin immediately.

Please be advised these bridges are active construction sites. Conditions and access may change daily. While the park is open, trail access and drainage crossings may be impossible. Please excerise care while the construction is occurring.

Other trail work on the Rockhill trail and the Wilson and the Rollins entries have been going on as weather and other projects allow. Again these trails may change considerably from day to day. Be prepared for loose or uneven surfaces as the work progresses.
