GILBERTVILLE, Iowa (AP) — Portions of a popular Black Hawk County trail will remain closed as crews work to repair more than a dozen spots damaged last September by Cedar River flooding.
The damage includes a 150-yard section of the trail that was destroyed as well as other locations with craters, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier (http://bit.ly/2mJ9Hav ) reported.
"The trail is closed and people shouldn't be using this trail," said Al Finke, south unit ranger for the conservation board. "We've closed it for their safety."
An engineer is working on a construction contract and cost estimates for the repairs, which aren't expected until June.
"At this point we do not have a timeline for a finished product," said Mike Hendrickson, interim conservation director.
