I see on the Modot web site that construction will start Feb 22 to remove the Highway 5 overpass that crosses the Katy Trail at New Franklin. Once the project is finish, trail users will have to deal with an at-grade crossing of Highway 5.

Thanks, good info to be aware of. Wonder if they will somehow detour the trail around the construction? Here's a link to the MODot info: http://www.modot.mo.gov/northcentral/news_and_information/District2News.shtml?action=displaySSI&newsId=49040

According to DNR: "Due to a project on Hwy. 5, the trail is temporarily closed at MM 188.3 (near New Franklin). Detour signs are posted at this location." Don't know how long the detour actually is, but at least they say one is marked.
