Road & Trail Closures Around Town
Cotton Belt Trail
Construction has begun on the City of Waco’s Highway 84 Wastewater Project, which affects trail usage along a portion of the Cotton Belt Trail until the summer of 2024.
The section of affected trail will stretch from the trailhead entrance at Trail Blazer Park to Church Road. Trail users will still have access to the portion of trail that extends from the parking lot at Church Road/Cotton Belt Trail to the trailhead entrance at the Waco Regional Land Fill on Hannah Hill Road. We appreciate your patience while improvements are made.
