Southside Trail-Segments 4 and 5

Spanning 1.2 miles from Boulevard to Glenwood Avenue, the project involves a 14-foot-wide multi-use path with 3-foot soft shoulders on each side, with retaining walls, vertical connections to adjoining streets, storm drainage, replaced bridges, and more infrastructure.

These segments are closed for construction. Trespassing on active construction sites is prohibited.

Project Status

All columns for the ramp at United are complete, as well as the MSE retaining walls and backfill. They are working on constructing the supports to be able to complete the ramp decking. The underground stormwater detention chambers have been installed on the north side of Ormewood, and an additional bridge support (bent) for the new Ormewood Ave pedestrian bridge has been constructed. The contractor will be working on the MSE walls for the ramp and stair structures over the next several weeks. The first trail pour between Boulevard and United was completed in June. They have installed the duct bank and are currently preparing for the next trail pour between United and Ormewood in August. Underground utility challenges at United Ave have pushed out the expected completion date, with construction expected to continue through fall 2025.
