Heads up, trail users.
A section of the Ann and Roy Butler Trail along Barton Creek across from Lou Neff Point will be closed starting Nov. 26, as crews work to stabilize a 230-foot slope that partially collapsed in May 2018.
During the closure trail traffic will detour around the baseball fields and onto separated paths on Toomey Road. A crew member with a flag will periodically stop cyclists and pedestrians to allow construction traffic to cross.
The closure will last until sometime next summer.
The city of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department, the Austin Parks and Recreation Departments and the Trail Conservancy are working together on the project, which is funded and managed by the Watershed Protection Department.
