View Billy Wolff Trail Detour in a larger map

From Lincoln Parks & Rec:

A temporary detour of the Billy Wolff Trail between “A” Street and 27th Street will be necessary for work taking place on the east side of the Children’s Zoo. The detour begins at “A” Street using a wide sidewalk on the south side of “A” Street connecting to the Rock Island Trail located west of the Billy Wolff Trail. Trail users will then use the Rock Island Trail going north to 27th Street. There will periodic detours just south of 27th Street that will go around Teachers Fountain to the 27th Street intersection. Trail users will need to cross the 27th Street intersection until the 27th Street underpass is opened up.

The trail and underpass have been closed between “A” Street and 27th and Capitol Parkway for channel work being done as part of a Lower Platte South NRD Project. When complete, this project will increase flood storage capacity along that section of the channel. Phase I of the project consists of relocation of multiple water lines that will be in the path of new construction on the south side of “A” Street. Phase II of construction involves removal of soil in the area of the trail on the east side of the channel, construction of retaining wall and installation of a new trail that will be located on the same alignment but lower in the channel. The trail will come up near the sandstone area and then return to a lower level between the sandstone and 27th street underpass. A new separate bicycle/pedestrian underpass at “A” Street is part of this project. This new underpass will provide for a new ramp on the south side with a more gradual slope. The “A” Street and 27th Street underpasses will be opened when the project has been completed. Final completion is scheduled for November 1.

There will also be temporary detours between 27th Street and Randolph Street as a new bridge and connection to the Antelope Valley Trails is being completed. The Trail is going to be relocated to the east side of the channel. Temporary detour is the sidewalk on the west side of Capitol Parkway.

We appreciate your patience while this work is taking place.
