Paving project on Frisco Highline Trail
Wraps up very quickly
Work started 11/12/09 to pave about 3 miles of trail from Willard south toward Springfield, a one-mile section near La Petite Gemme Priaire at mile marker 32, and make trailhead improvements at Wishart. Work concluded on this section in early December - yay!
Work on 60/65 Highway Interchange
Will Affect Galloway Creek Greenway until 2012
If you haven't already noticed, the 60/65 highway interchange reconstruction project in southeast Springfield is in full swing. And, if you are a trail user of Galloway Creek Greenway (and who isn't?) then you'll want to be aware of the closing on the trail within that project area.
As much as MoDOT would like to keep the trail open, it's just too difficult to manage all that heavy equipment going every which way, that they feel it's in the public's best interest
for safety to close it more than they originally had planned. We know it's not convenient, but ask that the public please respect any MoDOT signage along the trail. Heavy equipment and safety hazards will be increasing as the project progresses and we want trail users to be safe.
That being said, we're anxious for the work to be completed, so that we and the thousands of users of this and other area greenway trails can happily reconnect with this important community assett.
For current updates and closures, please review MoDOT's website dedicated to this
project:

Or, call MoDOT at (417) 895-7600.
