The Haikey creek bridge (along the Creek turnpike trail) was installed on the concrete piers on May 2nd. Work is now underway on the bridge approaches. It appears bridge could be completed soon.

All of the west bank trail between I-44 to Turkey mountain west of the sewage treatment plant is now paved. Remaining work includes fencing along the railroad track,and placement of the lights.

The south end of Wickham Road (which runs to the west of the Salpulpa Walmart) is being rebuilt. The road has been torn out from the school south to Teel Road and is currently gravel.

Highway 20 is closed east of Keatonville (up the hill from Keatonville Road). Major repairs are required and highway 20 is expected to be closed through mid to late summer. Keatonville road was heavily damaged along the river bluffs (near highway 266) during the same recent heavy rains. Rogers county will likely abandon this road.

The East bank trail between 11th street and the 21st street bridge is closed. Detours during the construction include the West Bank trail, or Riverside (this section of Riverside has very little traffic outside the morning and evening rush hour). The gravel base for the new trail has been installed and a portion of the concrete curb has been poured.

Work is wrapping up on a new plaza at Southwest Blvd and Riverside. Be cautioned that the curb cut for the trail along the plaza has moved from the west side to the east side of Riverside and Southwest Blvd. This makes for an awkward crossing when going northbound across 11th Street. The construction along Newblock park and Charles Page Blvd is wrapping us as well.

The Osage trail between Mohawk Blvd and 33rd Street North is still closed. You can use Lansing (just to the west of the trail) or Peoria (to the east of the trail) while the trail is closed.

If you know of any construction on cycling routes feel free to contact Ross Snider at ross4@cox.net or 606-1519.
