Recon: NFM has spots to get through onto parking lot and Ped bridge.. Will see what the maze of fencing offers up. Trail closed sign by the battery store may be temporary for the west side of underpass as the underpass will be open for use when completed. Keystone tight closed 72nd Underpass....torn up again west side and the new concrete east side of underpass. Keystone open at Fiserv. Looks like additional concrete brick pattern will work for employees on break.

update on the NFM area detour...special thanks to our Papio-Missouri River Natural Resources District friends:
✔️It looks like the sidewalk along Rose Blumkin will remain open as much as possible, but will need to be closed at some time. EDIT!!! It is closed as of 6/18/26
✔️There will be access to the NFM pedestrian bridge (through parking lot for employees +)
✔️As of today, fence stops at edge of Carpet Warehouse.
✔️77th & Dodge underpass will remain OPEN UNTIL FALL when that culvert work is scheduled. (near McD's)
✔️Best detour is the sidewalk along Rose Blumkin between S. 72nd to Dodge St. Rode it this a.m. and it is good to go, in fact almost better than streets! Let's hope the retaining wall S 72nd underpass opens very soon, it will be usable.

Orange fencing going up around the backside of NFM from Rose Blumkin to the carpet warehouse to the north. Here are the details from Omaha Parks, and from the NRD. Both indicate June 15th construction will start on culvert repair in the area. We will try to keep you updated.

FYI, Heimes Corp is going some work along the Happy Hollow Blvd Trail between Underwood Ave and the turn into Brownell Talbot near Chicago St. Workers said the trail was passable, but there were 2 pipes (one crossing) plus a generator on the trail. Asked for a sign. Ultimatley, they said if they aren't working , the trail should remain open and only close when workers are present. Seems about right after going through this weekend.

Took the day off to go explore the Missouri River Trail to Boyer Chute. Beautiful day! Great sidepaths/trails - yes, most of the trail is super passable - all the way to the Chute. Just after the Washington County line there are signs that indicate fresh oil and lots of sand on the road . Yep!. And the concrete displacement has been fixed just after Killer hill.

Karen Park Keystone Trail....work along the trail is complete. But, because machinery and trail closed signs still in place, this area too is a spot to be aware of for the weekend. Concrete is cured, etc. Walkable at this location without gaps! Enjoy the weekend!
