Stretch of MoPAC Trail Closed Through End of Year

The Sarpy Wastewater Agency has informed the Papio NRD that the MoPAC Trail in/near Springfield will be closed until the end of the year. The trail will be closed from Capehart Road south to Fairview Road until December 31, 2022, due to the agency’s installation of a sanitary sewer line.

The closure will result in no access to/from the trail between these major street crossings. Anyone who would like to use the section of the trail from Capehart to the north (off the top of the map), or from Fairview to the south (off the bottom of the map) will be able to do so.

The entire length of the MoPac Trail along Hwy 31 stretching to and across the Lied Bridge is open for use.

West Papio Trail Giles Road Underpass Closed for Three Months

Due to a bank stabilization project, the West Papio Trail Giles Road underpass will be closed July 12 through the end of October.

While the underpass will not be accessible to trail users, the trail will remain open at the following areas:

– Connecting to the southwest corner of 108^th Street and Giles Road

– At the trailhead parking lot continuing north over Hell Creek toward Q Street

“Construction crews have started clearing trees,” says Eric Williams, Papio NRD Natural Resources Planner. “We want trail users to know the Papio NRD will reseed and replant along the bank to maintain the natural feel of this historic corridor.”
