Work will begin on the Johnson Park instream improvements next week. The subcontractor, North Construction, will start construction downstream of the 1st Street Bridge Monday, July 18.

Nearly half of one mile of the North Fork of the Elkhorn River adjacent to Johnson Park will be transformed into an interactive white-water park, strengthening the region’s relationship to the river. During this process the water flow will be shut off. The trail system will also close Monday morning near the Hy-Vee site. It will be closed from Johnson Park all the way south to where it ends at Pine Street and Philip Avenue.
