A portion of the Kewash Nature Trail is closed while crews improve the area.

Washington County Conservation Director Steve Anderson announced construction has begun where the trail crosses Kiwi Avenue. The trail is closed from 230th Street to just west of the Crooked Creek Bridge. Anderson says the time the work will take depends on the weather, but is anticipated to take three weeks. The project is funded in part by a nearly $28,000 grant from the Washington County Riverboat Foundation.
