River’s Edge Trail Improvements

     Great Falls, Montana – A segment of the River’s Edge Trail below the Central Avenue Bridge will be closed to public access beginning August 4th. During the time of the closure, improvements will be made to the trail, such as replacing over 700 linear feet of asphalt surfacing with reinforced concrete.

     This section of the trail, located between the Milwaukee Station and the Electric City Water Park, is expected to reopen in 4 – 5 weeks. In the meantime, those on the trail should use the pedestrian crossing at the traffic light on the east end of Central Ave. Bridge.

     Funding for this project comes from the Missouri-Madison River Fund, Northwestern Energy grants, the River’s Edge Trail Foundation, and Park District No. 1 Funds. More information on this project can be found in the June 3 City Commission Meeting information.
