Saint Louis County Parks and Recreation, in partnership with Great Rivers Greenway, will begin a significant infrastructure improvement project along Gravois Greenway/Grant’s Trail between Officer Blake C. Snyder Memorial Park and Interstate 55. The project includes the replacement of two bridges and repairs to a third, enhancing safety and long-term use of this popular greenway.
To complete the work efficiently and safely, this section of the trail will be closed for approximately 90 days, weather permitting. The closure is expected to begin January 5, 2026, with the goal of reopening by early spring 2026 to minimize disruption for greenway users. Please note this timeline could change due to the weather.
A well-marked detour will be in place throughout the closure, guiding users along alternate park paths and Green Park Road to ensure continued access and connectivity.
“We appreciate the community’s patience as we complete these upgrades to ensure the greenway will remain a safe and enjoyable space for years to come,” said Claire Mueller, Communications Manager at Great Rivers Greenway.
