Underpass Rd Bridge
The Zim Smith Trail will soon open up at Underpass Rd., near Curtis Lumber, with a bridge crossing a small stream. A paved trail extends to Oak St, just off East High St. I spoke with someone working on the site, he said it may be ready Wednesday, they just have to pave a small portion, and fence up a portion so people don’t end up on the windshield of an Amtrak.
Speaking of which, I figured out how they’ll solve the Zepko Lane problem. Zepko Lane has train tracks going over it but no gate or warning lights. So they’re just going to fence off the end of Zepko Lane so people don’t try to access the trail through there.
Anyway, bittersweet project. No longer my little secret. Never encountered anyone on that path back in the day. At least I can get to Round Lake without worrying about stale diesel exhaust and rapidly curving semi-trailers, with drivers jacked up on 15 hours worth of 5 hour energy drink.
