Hennepin County will close the Cedar Lake Trail in May between Dunwoody Boulevard and Glenwood Avenue to perform environmental contamination cleanup. This closure will occur for about two months and is expected to close any day.
Twin Cities Bicycle advocates participated in discussions on the proposed closure and provided a suggested bicycle friendly detour route that the County has adopted. This route will start from the west at the Spring Lake exit follow Kenwood Parkway through Loring Park up 16th and along the Currie maintenance facility to the trail terminus at Glenwood.
Please take caution when you are riding this detour and obey all posted traffic controls. Soon enough the trail will reopen with a cleaner path to ride.
