Section of River Bluff Trail to be closed to public starting August 5 through September 2024

A section of the River Bluff Trail along the north side of the Eel River in Logansport will be temporarily closed to the public for over a month due to the installation of a large sewer pipe.

Sega, the contracting firm working on the ongoing Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) projects for Logansport Utilities, will be closing off a section of the trail starting the week of August 5, 2024.

The group will be installing a 36-inch diameter pipe across the Eel River that will connect one of the CSO project lines to the storage system. The temporary closure is a safety precaution as there will be large rucks coming in and out of the biking and pedestrian trail, along with dangerous equipment.

The trail, owned by Logansport Memorial Hospital, will be closed off in a span near Logansport Utilities property on the north side of the Eel River, where the new CSO systems are being built.

(Roughly located across the river from where the defunct, former electric generating plant was
demolished.)

Pedestrians traveling east or west on the River Bluff Trail will have to turn around when they approach the closed off work zone area of the trail.

The closed section of the trail is scheduled to reopen near the end of September.
