Anyone using the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail over the next few months should be aware of a series of detours near Waller Creek that will allow for the construction of new bridges, a deck and an overlook. The first detour will be in place on Monday, July 22, and last (roughly) through the end of August and will shunt trail users to a trail just east of the current bridge over Waller Creek. In addition, the city warns that construction traffic may be crossing the trail periodically, stopping trail traffic at times between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Here’s a map!
