The River to River Greenway travels 7.7 miles from the Lilydale trailhead of the Big Rivers Regional Trail (part of the Minnesota River Greenway) to Kaposia Landing and the Mississippi River Greenway through parks, residential and commercial areas in the communities of Mendota Heights, West St. Paul and South St. Paul.
This new segment of the River to River Geenway is from Livingston Avenue to the Wentworth Library, including trail facilities, an underpass crossing at Robert Street, and the relocation of a portion of Crawford Drive. A grade-separated crossing of Robert Street along the River to River Greenway provides the best trail user experience and accommodates the widest range of potential regional trail users.
Expect delays and lane closures. Flagging operations may be necessary to safely move traffic through the area for some of the construction activities. For the safety of both the residents and the workers, please be patient.
