Project Status

Trail Opened - February 2, 2022

The High Line Canal Trail Underpass – Mississippi/Parker was open to the public on Wednesday, February 2, 2022. 

The Contractor continues with minor work on the trail.  A temporary railing has been installed along the trail on the south side of Parker Road, which has allowed the trail to open sooner.  This temporary pedestrian railing will be in place until the permanent railing is installed.

All work is weather dependent and subject to change. The public’s patience and cooperation during construction are greatly appreciated.
