SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Sioux City public works director says officials are moving forward with a $300,000 plan to fix a city trail. The Sioux City Journal reports that construction on the Floyd River Trail could start as early as the spring.

The north trailhead was blocked off five years ago when Union Pacific Railroad tracks were built across the path. The director says a tunnel can be constructed beneath the tracks to divert pedestrians and cyclists.

City officials say money left over from a different construction project could fund the repair. The plans will require approval by the City Council.
