From MO DNR:
The trail at MM 172.7 (west of Huntsdale) is temporarily closed to allow re-decking of the Terrapin Creek Bridge. Detour: To get from Rocheport to Huntsdale -- From the depot on First St., turn right on Pike St. and then right on Route BB, heading toward I-70. After crossing I-70, the road becomes Roby Farm Rd. (gravel). Turn right on Route O and continue to Huntsdale to get on the trail near Katfish Katys.

Ray, how long will this last, do you know? We are planning to ride from Columbia to Rocheport on Friday.

I don't know, but will try to find out - stay tuned...

It was originally scheduled for completion by today (2/25), but has been delayed by the weather. If the weather cooperates this week (which is questionable), it should be done by the weekend. But again, that's not a sure thing.

My suggestion is to call the Dept of Natural Resources throughout the week, to check on the status. Their number is 800-334-6946 - you'll have to navigate through some prompts but will eventually get to an option where you can speak to a real person to ask about the current situation.

Good luck!

Looks like they finished!
