Updated: Butler Hike and Bike Trail will take a detour over Waller Creek through December
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 by Beth Bond
From Monday, Oct. 14, through mid-December, the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail at Waller Creek will take a small detour to allow construction of new pedestrian bridges over Waller Creek and the Lagoon Overlook and Leaf Deck. People on the route over the creek will use a temporary creek crossing. The new route will not be blocked, and cyclists can ride as usual. This is the third of a series of detours planned over several months for The Confluence, the second phase of Waterloo Greenway’s design plan to revitalize Waller Creek and create a 1.5-mile greenway stretching from Waterloo Park at its north all the way to Lady Bird Lake. The current detour started on Aug. 26 and will remain in place until the new detour starts. Construction work hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend work.
While the city originally said the detour would begin on Sept. 30, that has been corrected and the detour will begin on Oct. 14.
