When they were demolishing the buildings at Lutheran Hospital earlier this summer, a truck had to drive on the Neal Smith Trail and broke some of the concrete near a manhole at the north end of the bridge, just north of University Ave.
They will be replacing the broken concrete this week.
They will block off the section that they are working on, but you will be able to go around in the grass.
Please be cautious though this area!
Thanks,
