Lincoln Parks and Recreation officials announced today that Mopac Trail between 33rd and 35th streets will close for about two weeks (weather permitting) beginning Monday, November 3 for reconstruction of an existing retaining wall.

The aging retaining wall is failing and has been deemed hazardous. The wall will be removed and a new wall built in its place.

The Mopac Trail runs from 33rd and Vine streets to 72nd and “O” streets.
