During the construction period the East Randolph Place parking lot will be closed to trail users to allow the contractor access to the work site and as a laydown area for equipment and materials.
Trail users should exercise caution and obey all signage; including any restricted areas designated by flagging or signs. Other portions of the Blackwater Creek Bikeway, including the section from the Ed Page Entrance to East Randolph Place, will remain open for the duration of the maintenance project.
