MCT Nature Trail closes Tuesday

As I mentioned Thursday, Madison County Transit will be resurfacing the MCT Nature Trail because of massive cracks in the pavement. On Thursday, the timetable had not been set.

That's no longer the case. Beginning Tuesday, April 3, the MCT Nature Trail will be closed from Sand Road, south to Anderson Lane in Pontoon Beach for reconstruction. The trail will reopen in this area on June 1. For your safety, MCT is asking cyclists to avoid the trail in this area.

Thanks to MCT's extensive trail system, you'll still be able to ride on a trail between the Granite City/Pontoon Beach area and the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon area while work is being done on the Nature Trail. Instead of using the Nature Trail, you can use the Nickel Plate Trail, which intersects with the Nature Trail near Long Lake, and take the Nickel Plate Trail through Glen Carbon into Edwardsville.
