Hikers and bikers in the Round Rock area should prepare for a slight detour this coming week as a portion of the Brushy Creek Trail East undergoes maintenance. The closure, slated to begin on Wednesday, February 4, and extend through Friday, February 6, is necessary for trail improvements, according to a notice posted by the City of Round Rock.
The affected stretch is just east of the tunnel under Lance Lane, sandwiched between Georgetown Street and A.W. Grimes Boulevard. While this section takes a brief respite from the tread of joggers and the spin of bicycle wheels, the rest of the Brushy Creek Trail remains accessible. Notably, segments from Play for All Abilities Park to Freeman Park will be open to the public, providing alternative routes for regular trail users.
The City of Round Rock's announcement clarifies that the maintenance work is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the trail's sustainability and safety. Barriers and signage will guide visitors around the closed section. Trail enthusiasts are encouraged to adhere to these directions during the maintenance period.
Those eagerly awaiting the reopening won't have to wait long. The trail is expected to be accessible once again on Saturday, February 7, restoring full passage through one of the area’s prime recreational spaces. Until then, city representatives extend their gratitude for the community's patience, understanding that this temporary inconvenience is a small price for the improvements soon to be enjoyed by all.
