A section of the Springwater Trail will be closed for five months while the city works on a sewer project in the area.
The city’s map of the trail closure and detour, from the project website.
According to the city’s website, the section of the trail that goes under the Sellwood Bridge, between SE Spokane and its southern terminus at SE Umatilla (the trail picks up again to the south and west after a much-contested gap), will be closed from this September through February, 2010.
The city is asking trail users to take a detour around the construction, and suggests using SE Spokane and SE 7th.
