St. Anthony Parkway bike trail construction starting this week

Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board contractors are scheduled to begin repairs the week of Sept. 20 on the St. Anthony Parkway bike trail within Columbia Golf Course.

The work is part of a citywide project to improve and extend the life of existing trails within the park system. In the coming month, 8.2 miles of trails will be resurfaced, including the bike portion of St. Anthony Parkway between Central Avenue and 5th Street NE on the southern end of the golf course.

At most locations, repairs are expected to take between two and four days. Work includes filling cracks and adding a layer of seal coating to create a smoother and more durable trail surface.

During the project, individual segments will be closed and detour signs will be posted.
